Lyrics

[Intro - Rosie (Doug E.)] (1999) (1999) (9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9 19, 19-ninety, 1999) Yeah, yeah (1999) Yeah, yeah (1999) [Verse 1 - Prince (Rosie) Larry (All)] (I was dreamin' when I wrote this Forgive me if it goes astray) But when I woke up this morning Could have sworn it was Judgment Day The sky was all purple There were people runnin' everywhere, oh (Tryin' to run from the destruction And you know I didn't even care) [Chorus - Prince (Rosie) Doug E. (All)] 'Cause they say (2000, zero zero, party over, oops, out of time!) So... (Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999!) (Yeah, yeah) Oh-ho 1999 (Yeah, yeah) Oh-ho 1999 [Verse 2 - Rosie Larry (All)] 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) [Chorus - Prince (Rosie) Doug E. (All)] Yeah, yeah, they say (2000, zero zero, party over, oops, out of time!) Oh, so... (Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999!) I'm ready now, I'm ready Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm ready, man - 1999 Party, for real, this is the real party here (Yeah, yeah) This is official, you know what I'm sayin'? And this how we get down, yo (Yeah, yeah) (1999) [Rap - Doug E. Fresh (Prince)] Purple Rain sustained as Prince entertained Only love from the God above changed the name No ego in the game, no need to 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 for 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 you know you're free And say, "Party, huh, party!" come on! [Bridge - Doug E. (Prince) (All)] (If you didn't come to party, don't bother knockin' on my door) All right y'all, all night y'all, come on, got to get down ('Cause I got a lion in my pocket and, baby, he's ready to roar) (Yeah) Say what? Party, huh, party, come on, party All right y'all, all night y'all, got to get down All right y'all, come, come on, got to get down Tell me, tell me, tell me who's in here Tell me, tell me who's in here - Say what? [Bridge - Doug E. (Prince) All] 2000, zero zero, party over, oops, out of time! Who want to get on down with your man, Doug E.? So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999!
