I used to be a renegade,
EA
I used to fool around
EA
but I couldn't take the punishment,
EA
and had to settle down.
G
Now I'm playing it real straight,
ABmE
and yes I cut my hair
F#mG#m
you might think I'm crazy, but I don't even care
A
because I can tell what's going on:
EA
It's hip to be a square
EA
It's hip to be a square.
EA
I like my bands in business suits,
EA
I watch them on TV
EA
I'm working out most everyday
EA
and watching what I eat.
G
They tell me that it's good for me,
ABmE
but I don't even care
F#mG#m
I know that it's crazy, I know that it's nowhere
A
but there is no denying that:
EA
It's hip to be a square
EA
It's hip to be a square
EA
It's hip to be a square
EA
So hip to be a square.
EA
It's not too hard to figure out,
EA
you see it everyday
EA
and those that were the farthest out
EA
have gone the other way .
G
You see them on the freeway,
ABmE
it don't look like a lot of fun
AG
but don't you try to fight it;
ABmE
"An idea who's time has come."
F#mG#m
Don't tell me that I'm crazy, don't tell me I'm nowhere
A
take it from me:
EA
It's hip to be a square
EA
It's hip to be a square
EA
It's hip to be a square
EA
So hip to be a square.
EA
Here, There, and everywhere!
EA
Hip, Hip, so hip to be a square!
EA
Here, There, and everywhere!
EA
Hip, Hip.
EA
Here, There, and everywhere!
EA
Hip, Hip, so hip to be a square!
EA
Here, There, and everywhere!
EA
Hip, Hip.
EA
Here, There, and everywhere!
EA
Hip, Hip, so hip to be a square!
EA
Here, There, and everywhere!
EA
Hip, Hip.
