I'm hip, I'm no square, I'm hip, I'm alive,


I'm alert, I'm awake, I'm aware I enjoy any joint where there's jive
I am always on the scene I'm on top of every trend
Makin' the rounds, diggin' the sounds Look at me go, vo-dee-oh-doh
I read Playboy magazine 'Cause I'm hip! Bobby Darin knows my friend - I'm so hip

I dig, I'm in step, I'm hip, but not weird


When it was hip to be hep, I was hep Like you notice I don't wear a beard
I don't blow, but I'm a fan Beards were in but now they're out
Look at me swing, ring-a-ding-ding, They had their day, now they're passe
I even call my girlfriend "man" cos I'm hip Just ask me if you're in doubt, 'Cause I'm hip

Every Saturday night, Now whatever the fads


With my suit buttoned tight, and my suedes on And whatever the ads say, it's neatsville
I'm gettin' my kicks, I'll be keeping abreast
Watchin' arty French flicks with my shades on Out in front of the rest with elitesville

I'm too much, I'm a gas, 'Cause I'm cool, as a cuke


I am anything but middle class I'm a cat, I'm a card, I'm a kook
When I hang around the band, I get so much out of life
Poppin' my thumbs, diggin' the drums Really, I do, skoo-buh-doo-boo
Squares don't seem to understand One more time play "Mack the Knife"
Why I flip - they're not hip, like I'm hip Let 'er rip, I may flip - but I'm hip
