[N] [Eb] [F] [Ab]
[Bb]
[Ab] [Bb]
[Eb] I'm hip, [Bbm] [Eb] I'm no square, [D] I'm alert, [Bb] I'm awake, [Eb] I'm aware.
I am always on the [D] scene, making [Db] the rounds, [Ab] digging [Db] the sounds.
[Gm]
I read [C] Playboy magazine, [Bb] cause I'm [F] hip.
[Bb]
I dig, [Eb] I'm in [Bb] step, when [Eb] it was hip to be [D] hip, I was hip.
[Cm] I don't blow, but I'm [Em] a fair.
[Ab] Look at [Ebm] me swing, ring-a-ding-ding.
[Gm] I even call my [C] girlfriend, man, I'm so hip.
[F] [Eb]
[D] Every [Db] Saturday [Ebm] night, with my suit button tight and my [Db] [D] suede's on.
I'm getting my kicks, watching [Gbm] arty French flicks with my shades on.
I'm too much, I'm a [Bb] gas, I am [Bbm] anything but middle class.
When I hang around the [D] band, popping my thumbs, digging the drums.
[C] Squares don't seem to understand why [F] I flip.
They're not hip, like I'm [Ab] hip.
[Bbm] I'm hip, [Bb] I'm alive, I [Bbm] enjoy any joint where there's [Cm] jive.
I'm on top of every [D] trend.
[Ebm] Look at me go, voddy-o-do.
Bobby Darin [Cm] knows my friend, I'm so hip.
[Ebm] I'm hip, but not weird, like you notice I don't wear a beard.
[Eb] Beards were in, but now they're out.
[Gb] They had their day, now they're passe.
[Gm] Just ask me [Cm] if you're in doubt, but I'm hip.
[Ab] Now whatever [Ebm] the fads, and whatever [Db] the ads say, it's Neatsville.
[A] I'll be keeping [D] abreast, out in front of the rest with [Gb] elites feel.
Cause I'm [Bb] cool, as a cuke.
I'm a cat, I'm a car, I'm a kook.
I get [Eb] so much out of life, [Db] really I do, scuba-doo-boo.
[Cm]
One more time, [F] play Mack the Knife, let her rip.
I [Bb] may flip, but I'm hip.
Woo-hoo, I'm [Ab] hip.
[Eb] Woo, I'm hip.
[Ebm] Scuba-doo-ba-doo [Gb]-doo-boo-boo.
[Eb] [F] [Gm]
