[Intro - Prince (Rosie) Doug E. Fresh]
Y'all ready to go?
(Everybody ready to go?
Awww, y'all ready?) I'm ready, I'm ready
(I'm ready, I'm ready
Yeah, Yeah
Oh, we movin')
This is the party of the century!

[Verse 1 - Prince (Lisa) Dez (All)]
(I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray)
But when I woke up this morning
I could have sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere, oh-ho
(Tryin' to run from my destruction
And you know I didn't even care)

[Chorus - Prince 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)
This is the party of the century! Oh-ho

[Verse 2 - Prince Dez (Lisa) (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 Doug E. (All)]
Yeah, they say...
(2000, zero, zero, party over, oops, out of time – ooh, baby, oh-ho --
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999)
This is the party of the century! Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm ready, man, it's on

[Rap - Doug E. Fresh (Prince)]
Purple Rain sustained as Prince entertain
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 stay the same (Yeah!)
He never took a title that he don't claim
Haters be hatin' because his radio fame (Woah, 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's 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! Party!"
Come on!

[Verse 3 - Prince (Prince and Rosie) (All)]
(If you didn't come to party
Don't bother knockin' on my door
Ooopps, ‘cause 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, oh
(But before I'll let that happen
I'll dance my life away) Yeah
[Chorus - Prince Doug E. (All)]
'Cause they say...
(2000, zero, zero, party over, oops, out of time)
This is the party of the century!
(So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999)
This is the party of the century!
Say it again!
(2000, zero, zero, party over, oops, out of time)
Represent, uh-huh, represent
(Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999) Tonight I'm gonna, we gonna...Oh yeah!

[Bridge - Prince Doug E. (Rosie) (All)]
1999 - This is the party of the century!
1999 - Come On!
Don'tcha wanna go? (1999)
Don'tcha wanna go? (1999)
We could all die any day (1999)
I ain't gonna die
I'd rather dance my life away (1999)
(Go on, baby) Listen to what I'm tryin' to say...
(Imma listen to what you're trying to say) Everybody, everybody, say party
Put your hand up and party
Put your hand up and... (Party)
(Put your hands up in the air) Put your hand up and... (Party)
Woo, Woo, Woo!
