John Pizzarelli - I'm Hip

Hilarious. the lyrics i couldnt find on the web, so i trid to transcribe it, if u english native speaker find any mistakes, let me know:

I'm Hip, I am no square
I am awake, I am alert, I am aware
I am allways on the scene
Making the rounds, digging the sounds
I buy People Magazine, I am so hip!

Like digg, I am in step
When it was hip to be hep i was hep
I dont blow, but I am a fan
Look at me swing *ring a ding ding"
I even call my girlfriend "man" I am SO hip!

And every staurday night
With my suit buttoned tight and my suedes on (suedes on)
I am getting the kicks, ,
digging arty french flicks with my shades on

Cuz I am too much,I am gas
I am anything but middle class
When i hang around the band,
Poppin my thumbs, diggin the drums
Squares dont seem to understand, why i flip, and i am hip

I am hip i am alive
I enjoy any joy where there is jive
I'm on top of every trend
Look at me go. *flo-doo0o do"
Mel Tormé is my friend, I am so hip!

Now I'm deep into Zen
meditation and macrobiotics, oootics
and as soon as I can
I intend to get into narcotics.

Cuz I am cool, as a kick
I am a pet, I am card I am cuke
I get so much out of life...
really, I do *scoo-babu-doo"

One more time play Mack the Knife, I am in flip!

Please dont tell my father...
Oh yes, u better beeeeeeelive, that i am hip!
I am hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip!

[uyworldtraveler]

Kind of lame that he changed it from Playboy Magazine to People Magazine. Still, good cover.

Blossom Dearie performed it a lot ... didn't write it though.

Yes Dave Frisberg and Bob Durough wrote it, I think?? LOVE this tune and used to perform it! People love it! ♪

Weird how it's 2/3 of the way through this great, great number before the audience seems finally to feel permission to laugh at all the super-clever lyrics. Perhaps it took one or two of them to break the ice before the rest could decide digging the humor was in fact a sign they were hip (and/or hep).

The song was actually co-written written by Dave Frishberg and Bob Dorough for Blossom Dearie.

I love this guy - doing his stuff, the thing he can best, swing... Like his father. And he is NOT a guitar player one can overlook if one is serious about ones jazz knowledge. :-)
