Original Performer: Prince



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 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



They say two thousand zero zero party over 

Oops out of time 

We're runnin' outta time 

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



Say it one more time 

Two thousand zero zero party over 

Oops out of time 

No, no 

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



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 

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



Yeah, 1999

Don'tcha wanna go

Don'tcha wanna go

We could all die any day

I don't wanna die 

I'd rather dance my life away

Listen to what I'm tryin' to say



Everybody, everybody say party 

C'mon now, you say party

That's right, everybody say

Can't run from the revelation, no

Sing it for your nation y'all

Tell me what you're singin', baby say

Telephone's a-ringin', mama

C'mon, c'mon, you say

Everybody,

Work it down to the ground, say party

Come on, take my body, baby party 

That's right, c'mon, sing the song 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?
