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
It's hip to be a square
It's hip to be a square.
I like my bands in business suits,
I watch them on TV
I'm working out most everyday
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
It's hip to be a square
It's hip to be a square
It's hip to be a square
So hip to be a square.
It's not too hard to figure out,
you see it everyday
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 who's time has come."
Don't tell me that I'm crazy, don't tell me I'm nowhere
It's hip to be a square
It's hip to be a square
It's hip to be a square
So hip to be a square.
Here, There, and everywhere!
Hip, Hip, so hip to be a square!
Here, There, and everywhere!
Hip, Hip.
Here, There, and everywhere!
Hip, Hip, so hip to be a square!
Here, There, and everywhere!
Hip, Hip.
Here, There, and everywhere!
Hip, Hip, so hip to be a square!
Here, There, and everywhere!
Hip, Hip.
