Lyrics

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
You 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 to 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 u 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, you 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?
Mommy--why does everybody have a bomb?
