I'm Hip Lyrics - Bathhouse Betty - Bette Midler

Oh man, do you believe that chick? 

She has got no idea what's happening, no idea 

I am the one who's plugged in around here 

That's why they call me the high priestess of cool 

See, 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 People Magazine, 'cause I'm hip 

Like 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," 'cause I'm hip 

Every Saturday night 

With my suit buttoned tight and my suedes on 

I'm gettin' my kicks 

Diggin' 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 

Sqaures don't seem to understand 

Why I flip they're not hip like I'm hip 

I'm hip 

I'm on top of every trend 

Look at me go vo dee o do 

Sammy Davis knew my friend 

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 I'm deep into Zen 

Meditation and macrobiotics 

And as soon as I can 

I intend to get into narcotics 

'Cause I'm cool as a cuke 

I'm a cat, I'm a card, I'm a kook, kook, kook 

I get so much outta life 

Really, I do skoo ba dee boo 

One more time play "Mack the knife" 

Let 'er rip, I may flip, but I'm hip
