Hip To Be Square Huey Lewis and The News 1986 | (Alter-EGO 101) Art Lavigne |
OPENER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
I used to be a renegade, I used to fool around
But I couldn't take the punishment and had to settle down
Allemande and weave
You might think I'm crazy, but I don't even care
Because I can tell what's going on
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads square thru go four now
Around that corner dosado
You touch 1/4, do a walk & dodge
A partner trade and then a right & left thru
You pass the ocean then, recycle and go
Swing that corner girl, promenade
Don't tell me that I'm crazy
Don't tell me I'm nowhere
*Take it from me
It's hip to be...
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*But there is no denying that
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
(32 beat instrumental)
Left allemande that corner, your partner dosado
Left allemande and promenade
It's hip to be square
So hip to be square
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
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
Allemande and weave
Don't tell me that I'm crazy
Don't tell me I'm nowhere
Take it from me, it's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
TAG
Sides face, grand square
Tell 'em boys, it's hip to be square
It's hip to be square, oh so hip to be square
It's hip to be square!
