I'm Hip - Blossom Dearie

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 suedes on

I’m gettin' my kicks

Watchin' 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 vo dee o do

Bobby Darin 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 passe

Just ask me if you’re in doubt, 'cause I’m hip

Now whatever the fads

And whatever the ads say

It’s needs fill

I’ll be keeping abreast

Out in front of the rest with elites ville

'Cause I’m cool as a cuke

I’m a cat, I’m a card, I’m a kook, kook

I get so much out of life

Really, I do skoo ba doo boo

One more time play 'Mack the knife'

Let 'er rip, I may flip, but I’m hip

Ooh, I’m hip, ooh, I’m hip

Skoo ba doo boo, doo boo, doo boo

Boo doo boo doo doo doo
