Lyrics

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 buy People magazine
'Cause I'm hip
Like "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"
'Cause I'm hip
Every Saturday night
With my suit buttoned tight and my suedes on
I am gettin' my kicks
Diggin' arty French flicks with my shades on
'Cause 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, when I hip
Like I'm hip
Oh I'm hip, oh I'm hip, yes I'm hip
Oh I'm hip, oh I'm hip, yes I'm hip
Oh I'm hip, oh I'm hip, yes 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, vo-dee-o-do
Sammy Davis 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 their day, now they're passé
Just ask me if you're in doubt
'Cause I'm hip
Oh, I'm hip
Now I'm deep into Zen
Meditation and macrobiotics
And as soon as I can
I intend to get into narcotics
'Cause 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, scooba-dee-doo
One more time, play "Mack the Knife"
Let 'er rip, I may flip
But I'm hip
Oh, tell the world I'm hip
Yes, don't you know that I'm hip
Well now, dig on me
Well, can't you see that I'm hip
Oh yes, I'm hip
Better show this to Quincy
Oh yes, you better believe I'm hip
I'm hip
I'm hip
I'm, I'm hip
