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 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



Here, there, and everywhere

Hip, hip, so hip to be a square

Here, there, and everywhere

Hip, hip
