| I used to be a renegade, I used to fool around
|
| But I couldn’t take the punishment and had to settle down
|
| Now I’m playing it real straight, and yes, I cut my hair
|
| You might think I’m crazy, but I don’t even care
|
| Because I can tell what’s going on
|
| It’s hip to be square
|
| It’s hip to be square
|
| I like my bands in business suits, I watch them on TV
|
| I’m working out most every day and watching what I eat
|
| They tell me that it’s good for me, but I don’t even care
|
| I know that it’s crazy
|
| I know that it’s nowhere
|
| But there is no denying that
|
| It’s hip to be square
|
| It’s hip to be square
|
| It’s hip to be square
|
| So hip to be square
|
| It’s not too hard to figure out, you see it every day
|
| And those that were the farthest out have gone the other way
|
| You see them on the freeway, it don’t look like a lot of fun
|
| But don’t you try to fight it, an idea whose time has come
|
| Don’t tell me that I’m crazy
|
| Don’t tell me I’m nowhere
|
| Take it from me
|
| It’s hip to be square
|
| It’s hip to be square
|
| It’s hip to be square
|
| So hip to be square
|
| Tell 'em, boys
|
| Here, there, and everywhere
|
| Hip, hip, so hip to be square
|
| Here, there, and everywhere
|
| Hip, hip
|
| Here, there, and everywhere
|
| Hip, hip, so hip to be square
|
| Here, there, and everywhere
|
| Hip, hip
|
| Here, there, and everywhere
|
| Hip, hip, so hip to be square
|
| Here, there, and everywhere
|
| Hip, hip
|
| Here, there, and everywhere
|
| Hip, hip, so hip to be square
|
| Here, there, and everywhere
|
| Hip, hip |
