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