The original follows after my doctored version.
Prince was dreamin' when he wrote this
Forgive him if it's truth goes astray
But when he woke up this mornin' [many years later as a JW]
He Coulda sworn it was judgment day [any second now]
[He imagined] The sky was all purple,
there were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' to run from the destruction,
U know I didn't even care
CHORUS
say say two thousand zero zero party over,
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
He was dreamin' when he wrote this
So sue him if it goes too fast
But life is just a party, and parties weren't meant to last
War is all around us, JW minds says prepare to fight [by placing magazines]
So if he's gotta not die he's gonna listen to his Govering Body tonight [and every night]
CHORUS
say say two thousand zero zero party over,
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
intro 2x
Lemme tell ya somethin'
If U 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
Yeah, everybody's got a bomb,
we could all die any day
But before I'll let that happen,
I'll dance my life away
Oh, they say
say say two thousand zero zero party over,
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
say say two thousand zero zero party over,
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
we gonna, oww
1999
Dont ya wanna go 1999
Dont ya wanna go 1999
Dont ya wanna go 1999
