(Yeah yeah)

(1999)

(Yeah yeah)

(1999)

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' 2 run from my destruction, U know I didn't even care

Cuz they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!

So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999!

(Yeah yeah)

(1999)

(Yeah yeah)

(1999)

I was dreamin' when I wrote this, so sue me if I go 2 fast

But life is just a party and parties weren't meant 2 last

War is all around us, my mind says prepare 2 fight

So if I gotta die, I'm gonna listen 2 my body 2night

Yeah, they say 2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!

So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999!

I'm ready now, I'm ready (Yeah)

I'm ready, man, party, 4 real (1999)

This is the real party here [...] (Yeah yeah)

This is official, U know what I'm sayin'?

And this how we gets down, yo (Yeah yeah) (1999)

Purple Rain sustained as Prince entertained

Only love from the God above changed the name

No ego in the game, no need 2 place blame

And other than the freedom, the music stayed the same (Yeah)

He never took a title that he don't claim

Haters be hatin' because his radio fame

(B-b-boo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Love 4 one another, it's only one aim

AS the skies turned the color of red, I see flames

Said 1999 came

Put up your hands and show no shame

This is the party of the century

And The Artist in the house with the NPG

Hands in the air, so many I can't see

Put up your hands if U know U're free

I say party, party, come on!

If U didn't come 2 party, don't bother knockin' on my door

(All right y'all, all night y'all, come on, got 2 get down)

Cuz I got a lion in my pocket and, baby, he's ready 2 roar (Yeah)

(Say what?) Party huh, party, come on, party

All right y'all, all night y'all, got 2 get down

All right y'all, come, come on, got 2 get down

Tell me, tell me, tell me who's in here

Tell me, tell me who's in here (Say what?)

2000 zero zero party over, oops, out of time!

(Who want 2 get on down with your man, Doug E.?)

So 2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999!

(Who want 2 get on down with your man, Larry? Come on!)

2000 zero, zero party over oops out of time

(Who want 2 get on down with your girl, Rosie?)

2night, I'm gonna, we're gonna, oh yeah

(2night I'm gonna party like it's 1999) (1999)

Mommy... Why does everybody have a bomb?

{crowd noise}

(1999) {repeated and looped}

(Yeah yeah) {x2}

(P-p-p-p-party y'all)

(Yeah yeah) {x3}
