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    '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 Satuday night   With my suit buttoned tight and my swedes on    I'm gettin' my kicks   Diggin' arty French flickes 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 on top of every trend   Look at me go   Vo-dee-o-do   Sammy Davis knew my friend (sobbing)      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 their passe   Just ask me if you're in doubt   'Cause 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, 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
