I'm Hip

"Oh man do you believe that chick

She has got no idea what's happening no idea

I am the one who's plugged in around here

That's why they call me The High Priestess of Cool

Ha ha See 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 People Magazine

'Cuz 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 "

'Cuz I'm hip

Every Saturday night

With my suit buttoned tight and my suedes on

I'm gettin' my kicks

Diggin' 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

Sqaures don't seem to understand

Why I flip They're not hip like I'm hip

I'm hip

I'm on top of every trend

Look at me go Vo-dee-o-do

Sammy Davis knew my friend

I'm hip but not weird

Like you notice I don't wear a beard

Beards were in but now they're not

They had they're day Now they're passé

Just ask me if you're in doubt

'Cuz I'm hip

Now I'm deep into Zen

Meditation and macrobiotics

And as soon as I can

I intend to get into narcotics

'Cuz I'm cool as a cuke

I'm a cat I'm a card I'm a kook kook kook

I get so much out of life

Really I do Skoo ba dee boo

One more time play "Mack the Knife "

Let 'er rip I may flip but I'm hip
