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