[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!
Who want to get on down with your man, Larry? Come on!
