One, Two, Freddy's Coming For You is an adaptation of the children's nursery rhyme, "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe".
"One, Two, Buckle My Shoe" and "One, Two, Freddy's Coming For You" both have multiple versions.
The later is used in various versions of A Nightmare on Elm Street.
This song is often said to be Freddy Krueger's theme song.
Despite being a parody, it is quite haunting and ominous and has a lasting impact on Freddy's victims.
The most common version is:
One, Two, Freddy's Coming For You
Three, Four, Better Lock Your Door
Five, Six, Grab A Crucifix
Nine, Ten, Never Sleep Again

A Nightmare on Elm Street (film series)
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984 film)
The first time, it is sung while three girls play jump rope, while a fourth girl watches. Apparently, none of the girls themselves are singing it. Apparently, this takes place in the physical world and apparently the girls are very much alive.
Later, Nancy sings it in the bathtub.
It is later sung while three girls play jump rope in what is apparently a dream that Nancy is having. Apparently, none of these girls themselves are singing it in this scene, either.
It is then played at the beginning of the closing credits.
A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (film)
It is sung by Angela Walsh, while playing jump rope by herself, in a dream that Jesse Walsh is having. Angela is obviously very much still alive.
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (film)
It is sung by a mixed group of boys and girls in front of 1428 Elm Street, in a dream that Kristen Parker is having. Three children play jump rope, while two more toss a ball back and forth to each other, while another rides a tricycle on the porch. It is strongly implied that the children jumping rope and tossing the ball are some of Freddy's pre-death victims, because the girl riding the tricycle pretty much straight out says she is in the next scene she appears in.
Kristen later sings it while resisting sedation.
Afterwards, Nancy comments that it is used to "keep the bogey-man away".
A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (film)
It is sung by the children in the first dream.
A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child (film)
The lyrics changed, giving proof to the fact that the lyrics are somewhat flexable and change as the need arises.
Lyrics:
One, two, Freddy's coming for you
Three, four, better lock your door
Five, six, grab a crucifix
Seven, eight, Ya better stay awake
Nine, ten, he's back again
