🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Oops out of time
  • So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
  • (I was dreaming' when I wrote this)
  • (So sue me if I go too fast)

Echo the hook

  • Yeah, Yeah
  • Lemme tell ya something
  • If you didn't come to party
  • Don't bother knockin' on my door
