1999
The Funky Groove Connection Lyrics

Don't worry, I won't hurt you
The singer wants everyone listening to know they are safe and nothing bad will happen.

I only want you to have some fun
The singer just wants everyone to enjoy themselves with no worries.

I was dreamin' when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray
The singer wrote this song in a dream-like state so the lyrics may not make perfect sense.

But when I woke up this mornin', could've sworn it was judgment day
The singer woke up and thought the world was ending.

The sky was all purple, there were people runnin' everywhere
The singer saw the chaos around and the sky was purple indicating something very wrong was happening.

Tryin' to run from the destruction, you know I didn't even care
While people were scrambling to survive the chaos, the singer didn't care and just wanted to have fun.

Say say two thousand zero zero party over, oops, out of time
The new millennium is here and people are saying the party is over.

So tonight I'm gonna party like it's nineteen ninety-nine
The singer is going to party like it's the fun-loving year of 1999.

But life is just a party and parties weren't meant to last
The singer believes life is short so we should all take the time to have fun while we can.

War is all around us, my mind says prepare to fight
Despite the chaos around, the singer's mind is in fight mode.

So if I gotta die I'm gonna listen to my body tonight
The singer is going to enjoy the moment and listen to their body's needs.

Yeah hey, they say two thousand zero zero party over, oops, out of time
Just like before, the new millennium is here and people are saying the party is over.

People, let me tell you somethin'
The singer wants to stress something important.

If you didn't come to party, don't bother knockin' on my door, oww
If you weren't there to party with the singer, then there's no need to come to their door.

I got a lion in my pocket and baby he's ready to roar, yeah hey
The singer has a sort of confidence and swag so great it's like having a lion in their pocket that's ready to roar.

Everybody's got a bomb, we could all die any day, oh
The singer is saying life is short and everyone has problems (like a bomb) which could end it any day.

But before I let that happen, I'll dance my life away, oh ho
Despite the possibility of problems, the singer would rather dance their life away before they die.

Alright, nineteen ninety-nine
The singer repeats the previous line, trying to stress the year they want to party like.

That's right, everybody say party
The singer wants everyone to just enjoy the moment and say party!

Can't run from revelation, no
The singer believes that fate and any possible revelations are unavoidable.

Sing it for your nation, y'all
The singer wants to encourage audiences to sing along and have fun.

Dreamin' when you're singin', baby
The singer references a previous line and repeats it in a similar style.

Say the telephone a ringin', mama, now
The singer wants to incorporate some fun, nonsensical lines to further continue the song's party-like vibe.

Come on, come on, you say
The singer once again wants everyone to enjoy and join in on the party.

Got a lion in my pocket mama, say
Repeating a previous line, the singer affirms their unseen boldness and confidence.

Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?
The singer repeats another nonsensical line as a sort of call-and-response during the song.
