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 suede's 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
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 with the rest of elitesville '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
One more time play 'Mack the Knife'
Let 'er rip, I may flip, but I'm hip, I'm hip, I'm hip
