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 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 but there is no denying that: 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 take it from me: 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.
