"Hip Trumpets" lyrics

You know man, it's got to have a beat
And it's got to swing
And it's got to come from your heart
And from your gut
And that is what hip is

There's never been a better trumpet player in the world
And television's gonna lose the last swing band
And to say this band is not hip
Is not to know the meaning of the word hip
And the idea that you have to be between the ages
Of thirteen and thirty to be hip
Just doesn't make any sense at all

You know man, it's got to have a beat
And it's got to swing
And it's got to come from your heart
And from your gut
And that is what hip is

You know man, it's got to have a beat
And it's got to swing
And it's got to come from your heart
And from your gut
And that is what hip is
