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 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 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 square It's hip to be square It's hip to be square So hip to be square Tell them now 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 Here There and everywhere
