Johnny Colla - Hip to Be Square lyrics

[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 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 [Abridged Chorus] It's hip to be square It's hip to be square [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] It's hip to be square It's hip to be square It's hip to be square So hip to be square [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro x4] Here, there, and everywhere Hip, hip, so hip to be a square Here, there, and everywhere Hip, hip
