I used to be a renegade

I used to fool around

But I couldn′t take the punishmentAnd 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

'Cause 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 watchin' 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)

So hip to be square

(Hip, hip)
