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
There were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' to run from the destruction
You know I didn't even care
Say, say, 2000-00, party over
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
And parties weren't meant to last
My mind says prepare to fight
I'm gonna listen to my body tonight, yeah
They say, 2000-00, party over
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 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
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
So tonight we gonna party like it's 1999
Oops, out of time, no, no
So, tonight we gonna, we gonna, whoa!
Don't stop, don't stop, say it one more time
So tonight, I'm gonna party like it's 1999 (we gonna, whoa)
Don'tcha wanna go, oh (1999)
We could all die any day (1999)
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
Come on, take my body, baby (party)
That's right, c'mon, sing me the song (party)
Yeah-yeah, oh, no no (party)
Got a lion in my pocket mama, say (party)
Oh, and he's ready to roar (party)
