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'

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, 2000-00, 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, 2000-00, party over

Oops, out of time

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

Yeah, yeah

Let me 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, aw

But before I'll let that happen

I'll dance my life away, oh-oh-oh

They say, 2000-00, party over

Oops, out of time

We're runnin' outta time

So tonight we gonna party like it's 1999

Say it one more time

2000-00, party over

Oops, out of time, no, no

So, tonight we gonna, we gonna, whoa!

Alright, it's 1999

You say it, 1999

1999

Oh, 1999

Don't stop, don't stop, say it one more time

2000-00, party over

Oops, out of time

Yeah-yeah

So tonight, I'm gonna party like it's 1999 (we gonna, whoa)

1999

Don'tcha wanna go (1999)

Don'tcha wanna go, oh (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 said party

C'mon now, you said party

That's right, everybody say (party)

You can't run from the revelation, no (party)

Sing it for your nation, y'all (party)

Dreamin' when youu're singin', baby say (party)

Telephone's a-ringin', mama now (party)

C'mon, c'mon, you say (party)

Everybody, do tell me (party)

Work it down to the ground

I say (party)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (party)

Come on, take my body, baby (party)

That's right, c'mon, sing me the song (party)

Yeah-yeah, oh, no no (party)

That's right (party)

Got a lion in my pocket mama, say (party)

Oh, and he's ready to roar (party)
