Black Magic movie - What is Hip? lyrics

rate me

Song by Tower Of Power<br /><br>

So ya wanna dump out yo' trick bag. <br>

Ease on in a hip thang, <br>

But you ain't exactly sure what is hip. <br>

<br>

So you started to let your hair grow. <br>

Spent big bucks on your wardrobe. <br>

Somehow, ya know there's much more to the trip. <br>

<br>

(refrain #1) <br>

What is hip? <br>

Tell me, tell me, if you think you know. <br>

What is hip? <br>

If you're really hip, <br>

the question, "Will it show?" <br>

You're into a hip trip. <br>

Maybe hipper than hip. <br>

What is hip? <br>

{ Trumpet solo/guitar solo } <br>

(refrain #1 ends) <br>

<br>

You became a part of a new breed. <br>

Been smokin' only the best weed. <br>

Hangin' out with the so called "Hippie set." <br>

<br>

Seen in all the right places. <br>

Seen with just the right faces. <br>

You should be satisfied, but it ain't quite right. <br>

<br>

{ refrain #1 } <br>

<br>

Come on! <br>

<br>

(refrain #2) <br>

Hipness is. What it is! <br>

Hipness is. What it is! <br>

Hipness is. What it is! <br>

Sometimes hipness is, what it ain't. <br>

(end refrain #2) <br>

<br>

{ guitar solo } <br>

<br>

You went an' found you a guru. <br>

In an effort to find you a new you, <br>

And maybe even raise your conscious level. <br>

<br>

While you're striving to find the right road, <br>

There's one thing you should know, <br>

"What's hip today, might become passe'." <br>

<br>

{ refrain #1 } <br>

<br>

{ Trumpet solo } <br>

<br>

Think about it y'all. <br>

<br>

{ keyboard solo } <br>

<br>

{ refrain #2 } <br>

<br>

What is hip? <br>

Ahhhhhhhhh! <br>

What is hip? <br>

I'd like to know! <br>

What is hip? <br>

Is it in the style of your hair? <br>

What is hip? <br>

Is it in the clothes that you wear? <br>

What is hip? <br>

I'd like to know. <br>

What is hip? <br>

I'd like to know. <br>

What is hip? <br>

What is hip y'all? Hey! <br>

What is hip? <br>

Hey! Oh! <br>

What is hip? <br>

What is hip y'all? <br>

What is hip? <br>

I wanna know. <br>

What is hip? <br>

Ahhhhhhh! <br>

What is hip? <br>

I wanna know what hipness is.<br>
