I'm hip I'm no square I'm alert I'm awake I'm aware I am always on the scene Makin' the rounds Diggin' the sounds I read playboy magazine 'Cause I'm hip
I dig I'm in step When it was hip to be hep, I was hep I don't blow but I'm a fan Look at me swing Ring a ding ding I even call my girlfriend man I'm so hip
Every Saturday night With my suit buttoned tight And my suedes on I'm gettin' my kicks Watching arty French flicks With my shades on
I'm too much I'm a gas I am anything but middle class When I hang around the band Poppin' my thumbs Diggin' the drums Squares don't seem to understand Why I flip They're not hip Like I'm hip
I'm hip I'm alive I enjoy any joint Where there's jive I'm on top of every trend Look at me go vodie-o-do Bobby Darrin knows my friend I'm so hip
I'm hip But not weird Like, you notice, I don't wear a beard Beards were in but now they're out They had they're day Now they're passe Just ask me if you're in doubt Cause I'm hip
Now whatever the fads And whatever the ads Say is neatsville I'll be keeping abreast Out in front of the rest with elitesville 'Cuz I'm cool as a cuke I'm a cat, I'm a card I'm a kook I get so much out of life Really, I do *scoobie-du-bu* One more time play Mack the Knife Let 'er rip I may flip but I'm hip
