1999 (Prince Cover) [Live] Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah yeah baby!
Happy New Year!
Let me see them hands!
Do you feel it?
If you feel it, get up, c'mon get up!

[Verse 1]
I was dreamin' when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray
When I woke up this mornin', could've sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple, and people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' to run from the destruction, you know I didn't even care


[Fred talking to the crowd]
You know it, c'mon!
Are you ready?
Sing, sing!

[Chorus]
Two thousand, zero zero party up, all the time!
'Cause tonight we gonna party like it's nineteen ninety nine!
Come on, one more time, let's do it!
Two thousand, zero zero, party up, all the time!
'Cause tonight we gonna party like it's nineteen ninety nine!

[Fred talking to the crowd]
Do you feel me, New York City?
It goes like this
Let's try it again, c'mon!
This is 1999, get up!

[Verse 2]
I was dreamin' when I wrote this, could sue me if I go too fast
But life is just a party and parties weren't meant to last
This money's grown around me, my mind says prepare to fight
But if we gotta die, gonna party with a price to pay!
Are you ready, sing with me
Let's do it!
Dance!

[Chorus]
Two thousand, zero zero, party up, through all the time!
'Cause tonight we gonna party like it's nineteen ninety nine!
Everybody, c'mon!
Two thousand, zero zero party up, all the time!
'Cause tonight we gonna party like it's nineteen ninety nine!

Let me hear some noise, New York City!
