E                    A 
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

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.
