| 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 |
