E9So you want to jump out your trick bag
E9And ease on into a hip bag
E9 (horn hits)
But you ain't just exactly sure what's hip
E9So you start to let your hair grow
E9Spend big bucks to cop you a wardrobe
E9 (horn hits)
But somehow you know there's much more to the trip
[Chorus 1]
What is E9hip?
Tell me, tell me if you C9think you know
What is E9hip? If you was really hip
The B9passing years would show

E9So you became part of the new breed
E9Been smokin' only the best weed
E9 (horn hits)
Been hangin' out on the so-called hippest set
E9Being seen at all the right places
E9Being seen with just the right faces
E9You should be satisfied
E9 (horn hits)
Still it ain't quite right
[Chorus 2]
What is E9hip?
Tell me, tell me if you C9think you know
What is E9hip? If you was really hip
The B9passing years would show
You into a hipE9 trip
Maybe hipper thanF#9 hip
But what is G9hip?
