Nightmares

Hello, I'd like to see Dr. Slumber, please

Uh, do you have an appointment, sir?

No, I don't, but tell the doctor it's urgent that I see her

Well, just one moment

Dr. Slumber? Dr. Slumber, there's a young man

Out here named—excuse me, what is your name?

Oh, tell her it's Dena Dane

D-D-Dena D-D-Dane? Oh no! Oh, you can come right

In, come right in, right now, come on in now!

Thank you, thank you

Well, I walked into the office, what did I see?

A well-shaped body with her back to me

Sitting in her chair with an all-white gown

She said, "Dena Dane, won't you please lay down?"

She said that she wouldn't reveal her face

'Til my hour was up and I was on my way

Now we got to the matter of why I came there

I said, "Doc, I keep having these crazy nightmares"

Nightmares of the night (Nightmares)

Nightmares, they're alright (Nightmares)

'Cause they're just your imagination, not reality (Nightmares)

Just keep telling yourself that they're make-believe (Nightmares)

She said, "Relax yourself, won't you tell me one

So I can diagnose and see what must be done?"

I laid back my head, tried to inhale

Caught my breath and then I said, "Well

Bright one morning I was late for class

Had a fresh pair of frames with Gucci on the glass

Girls, they was hawking, dudes, they was talking

Saw this doggy-dog female, I kept on walking

She was on it hard, there was no denying

Should've seen what this female was trying

Grabbing on my shirt, tugging on my slacks

Pulling on my zipper, boy, I had to hold her back

Word up, doc, on the ultimate

Now if I never saw a creature, this girl was it

I kept on walking, had to leave this place

But she was all up on me, breathing in my face

You may think I'm lying or it's just a dream

The girl had the baddest breath I'd ever seen

I couldn't think straight, thought I was doomed

Heard a bling-bling-bling, it was time for homeroom

I stepped real quick, she tried to play it sassy

She almost ran me down, this nasty fatnastee

Dipped to the stairs, running blind

Get to my homeroom, ran through my mind

Got to the fourth floor, standing in the door

Girlies watching me walk down the corridor

The guys, they were jealous and getting mad

And all the girlies wishing they had the class I had

Got to my classroom, expect to see the teacher

Who did I see? That ugly black creature

Paused for a minute, standing in the door

Then I broke out when the girlie went roar

Word 'em up, doc, couldn't stand the smell

Heard of 3D, but she was fat as hell

I ran out the school, I didn't look back

I tell you, Dr. Slumber, this girl was wack

And that's about the time when I awoke

And I smelled that awful breath that almost made me choke

Now tell me, Dr. Slumber, how can it be

That this dream somehow became reality?

I can't go to sleep 'cause I'm so damn scared

'Cause I keep having these crazy nightmares"

Nightmares of the night (Nightmares)

Nightmares, they're alright (Nightmares)

'Cause they're just your imagination, not reality (Nightmares)

Just keep telling yourself that they're make-believe (Nightmares)

She said, "Listen, Dena Dane, I think I have the cure

But I have to hear one more before I'll be sure"

I laid back my head, tried to concentrate

Then I told her the nightmare 'bout the blind date

Had a blind date with this girl named Anita

The Fever's the place I was supposed to meet her

Saw this dope body with a vicious butt

How did I know she was a marvelous mutt?

This lady I met was as ugly as hell

Couldn't go in the jam with this female

I was tough and hard, she started to bragging

Couldn't let her know I was here with this dragon

Grabbed her hand, dipped to Harlem World

But I left this ugly lady for another girl

Now this other female, her name was Denise

Couldn't get no rest 'cause I followed the beast

Everywhere I turned, everywhere I looked

There was Anita the beast, she could not be shook

I dipped, I dived, I ran, I thrived

But there was no place that I could hide

'Cause she was sniffing me out like a hungry bloodhound

Her tail in the air, her nose to the ground

Only thing left for me to do

Was to set her up with this other dude

Now this other dude, he was real upset

'Cause this ugly female he didn't want in check

He started acting wild, even called me a faggot

What could I do? He had a.22 automatic

I dipped into the crowd, made my way to the door

Bumped into this object and I hit the floor

When I looked up, what did I see?

I saw Anita the beast looking down at me

I couldn't try to play it, couldn't try to pretend

Like the ASPCA, I had to take this dog in

Nightmares of the night (Nightmares)

Nightmares, they're alright (Nightmares)

'Cause they're just your imagination, not reality (Nightmares)

Just keep telling yourself that they're make-believe (Nightmares)

Now I pleaded, "Dr. Slumber, I just can't bear

To have another one of these crazy nightmares"

Then all of a sudden she turns around

Is staring at me with that all-white gown

With a Catholic smile, showing all her teeth

Was that ugly female, Anita the beast

Dena? Dena, honey, wake up

What's wrong? Wake up, honey

You are just having a nightmare

Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
