Bette Midler - I’m Hip

Oh man, do you believe that chick?
She has got no idea whats happening, no idea. I am the one whos plugged in around here.
Thats why they call me the high priestess of cool! ha ha!

See, Im hip.
Im no square.
Im alert,
Im awake,
Im aware.
I am always on the scene.
Makin the rounds, diggin the sounds.
I read people magazine.
cuz Im hip.

Like, dig!
Im in step.
When it was hip to be hep,
I was hep.
I dont blow but
Im a fan.
Look at me swing. ring a ding ding.
I even call my girlfriend man,
Cuz Im hip.

Every saturday night
With my suit buttoned tight and my suedes on
Im gettin my kicks
Diggin arty french flicks with my shades on.

Im too much. Im a gas.
I am anything but middle class.
When I hang around the band,
Poppin my thumbs, diggin the drums,
Sqaures dont seem to understand
Why I flip.
They're not hip like Im hip.
Im hip!

Im on top of every trend.
Look at me go. vo-dee-o-do.
Sammy davis knew my friend.

Im hip, but not weird.
Like, you notice, I dont wear a beard.
Beards were in but now theyre not.
They had theyre day. now theyre pass.
Just ask me if youre in doubt,
cuz Im hip.

Now Im deep into zen
Meditation and macrobiotics,
And as soon as I can
I intend to get into narcotics.

Cuz Im cool as a cuke.
Im a cat,
Im a card,
Im a kook, kook, kook.
I get so much out of life.
Really,
I do. skoo ba dee boo.
One more time play mack the knife.
Let er rip.
I may flip, but Im hip.
