"1999"

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'

Could've 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

Say say

Two-thousand-zero-zero party over

Oops out of time

So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999

(I was dreaming' when I wrote this)

(So sue me if I go too fast)

(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, Yeah

Lemme tell ya something

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, yeah

Everybody's got a bomb

We could all die any day

Ooow

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 1 more time

Two-thousand-zero-zero party over oops

Out of time

No, no (Tonight I'm gonna)

Yeah, yeah

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

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, get down (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
