[Verse 1]
I used to be a renegade, I used to fool around
But I couldn't take the punishment, I had to settle down
Now I'm playing it real straight, and yes, I cut my hair
You might think I'm crazy, ...
But there can be no denying that I'm

[Chorus]
Too hip to be a square
Too hip to be a square

[Verse 2]
I like my bands in cool blue shirts, 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 I'm

[Chorus]
Too hip to be a square
Too hip to be a square
Too hip to be a square
Too hip to be a square
Horns!
[Saxophone solo]

[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 that I'm

[Chorus]
Too hip to be a square
Too hip to be a square
Too hip to be a square
Too hip to be a square
49ers sing!

[Outro]
Here, there, and everywhere
Hip, hip, too hip to be square
Here, there, and everywhere
Hip, hip
Here, there, and everywhere
Hip, hip, too hip to be square
Here, there, and everywhere
Hip, hip
