Lyrics:

I was dreamin' when I wrote this Forgive me if it goes astray But when I woke up this mornin' Could have 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

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

They say two thousand zero, zero, party over, Oops, out of time! So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999! 1999!

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 we're gonna party like it's 1999!

Say, say, Two thousand zero, zero, party over, Oops, out of time! So tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999!

Alright, it's 1999!

You say it, 1999!

1999!

1999! Don't stop, don't stop, say it 1 more time!

1999!
