Don't worry, I won't hurt you I only want you to have some fun I was dreamin' when I wrote this Forgive me if it goes astray But when I woke up this mornin' Coulda sworn it was judgment day The sky was all purple, there were people runnin' everywhere Tryin' to run from the destruction, U know I didn't even care 'Cuz they say two thousand zero zero party over, oops out of time So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999 I was dreamin' when I wrote this So sue me if I go too fast But life is just a party, and parties weren't meant to last War is all around us, my mind says prepare to fight So if I gotta die I'm gonna listen to my body tonight Yeah, they say two thousand zero zero party over, oops out of time So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999 Yeah Lemme tell ya somethin' If you didn't come to party, don't bother knockin' on my door I got a lion in my pocket, and baby he's ready to roar Yeah, everybody's got a bomb, we could all die any day But before I'll let that happen, I'll dance my life away Oh, they say two thousand zero zero party over, oops out of time We're runnin' outta time (Tonight I'm gonna) So tonight we gonna (party like it's 1999) we gonna, oww Say it one more time Two thousand zero zero party over oops, out of time No, no (Tonight I'm gonna) So tonight we gonna (party like it's 1999) we gonna, oww Alright, it's 1999 You say it, 1999 1999 1999 don't stop, don't stop, say it one more time Two thousand zero zero party over, oops out of time Yeah, yeah (Tonight I'm gonna) So tonight we gonna (party like it's 1999) we gonna, oww Yeah, 1999 (1999) Don'tcha wanna go (1999) Don'tcha wanna go (1999) We could all die any day (1999) I don't wanna die, I'd rather dance my life away (1999) Listen to what I'm tryin' to say Everybody, everybody say party C'mon now, you say party That's right, everybody say (Party) Can't run from the revelation, no (Party) Sing it for your nation y'all (Party) Tell me what you're singin', baby say (Party) Telephone's a-ringin', mama (Party) C'mon, c'mon, U say (Party) Everybody, [two times] (Party) Work it down to the ground, say (Party) (Party) Come on, take my body, baby (Party) That's right, c'mon, sing the song (Party) (Party) That's right (Party) Got a lion in my pocket mama, say (Party) Oh, and he's ready to roar (Party) Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?
