When it was hip to be hep, I was hep
One more time play 'Mack the knife'
I read Playboy magazine 'cause I'm hip
I'm gettin' my kicks
I even call my girlfriend 'Man', I'm so hip
And whatever the ads say
Why I flip, they're not hip like I'm hip
Watchin' Arty French flicks with my shades on
Every Saturday night
Look at me swing, ring a ding ding
Skoo ba doo boo, doo boo, doo boo
I'm too much I'm a gas
Squares don't seem to understand
When I hang around the band
I am always on the scene
With my suit buttoned tight and my suedes on
Look at me go vo dee o do
I get so much out of life
Just ask me if you're in doubt, 'cause I'm hip
They had their day now they're passe
I don't blow but I'm a fan
Really, I do skoo ba doo boo
I'm so hip
I am anything but middle class
Ooh, I'm hip, ooh, I'm hip
I'm hip, I'm alive
It's needs fill
Out in front of the rest with elites ville
Let 'er rip, I may flip, but I'm hip
Like you notice, I don't wear a beard
Bobby Darin knows my friend
Beards were in but now they're out
Poppin' my thumbs, diggin' the drums
Makin' the rounds, diggin' the sounds
I'm a cat, I'm a card, I'm a kook, kook
I enjoy any joint where there's jive
Now whatever the fads
I'm hip but not weird
I'll be keeping abreast
I'm on top of every trend
I dig, I'm in step
'Cause I'm cool as a cuke
