[Verse 1]
I used to be a renegade
I used to fool around
But I couldn't take the punishment
And had to settle down
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
[Verse 4]
I like my bands in business suits
I watch them on TV
I'm workin' out most everyday
And watchin' what I eat
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
So hip to be square
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Don't tell me that I'm crazy
Don't tell me I'm nowhere
Take it from me
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
(Here, there and everywhere)
(Hip, hip, so hip to be a square)
(Here, there and everywhere)
(Hip, hip)
[Verse 12]
(Here, there and everywhere)
(Hip, hip, so hip to be a square)
(Here, there and everywhere)
(Hip, hip)
[Verse 13]
(Here, there and everywhere)
(Hip, hip, so hip to be a square)
(Here, there and everywhere)
(Hip, hip)
[Verse 14]
(Here, there and everywhere)
(Hip, hip, so hip to be a square)
(Here, there and everywhere) So hip to be square (Hip, hip)
[Verse 15]
(Here, there and everywhere)
(Hip, hip, so hip to be a square)
