[Intro]
Don't worry, I won't hurt you...
I only want you to have some fun
[Verse 1]
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this morning
I could have sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple
There was folks runnin' everywhere
And people was running around
And I didn't even care
[Hook]
'Cuz they say...
2000 zero zero party over oops
Out of time
But tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
[Verse 2]
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
And my mind says prepare to fight
So if I gotta die
I'm gonna listen to my body tonight
[Hook]
'Cuz they say...
2000 zero zero party over oops
Out of time
Well, tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
[Verse 3]
Now, lemme tell ya somethin'
If you didn't come to party
Then, don't bother knockin' on my door
I got a lion in my pocket
And baby he's ready to roar
Everybody's got a bomb
We could just die any day
But before I'll let that happen
I'll just dance my life away
[Hook]
'Cuz they say...
2000 zero zero party over oops
Out of time
Well, tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
2000 zero zero party over oops
Out of time
Well, tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
Alright, it's 1999
You say it, 1999
Go on, say it, 1999
1999 don't stop, don't stop, say it one more time
2000 zero zero 1999
Don't worry, I won't hurt you...
I only want you to have some fun
[Verse 1]
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray

I could have sworn it was judgment day
