Hip To Be Square

two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I used to be a renegade
I used to fool around
I couldn't take the punishment
Had to settle down

Circle left
Now I'm playing it real straight
Left allemande, weave it and go
You might think I'm crazy
Swing that girl, promenade
It's hip to be square

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) lead right, circle to a line
Heads (sides) break and you make that line
Everybody pass thru
Tag the line, all face in
Touch 1/4 and the boys run right
Eight chain 5, be sure it's 5 and then
Swing the corner, promenade
But there is no denying it
It's hip to be square
(it's hip...sides face grand square)

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I like my bands in business suits
I watch them on TV
I'm working hard most every day
Watching what I eat

Circle left
They tell me that it's good for me
Left allemande, weave it and go
I don't even care
Swing that girl and promenade
Telling you now, it's hip to be square

CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
It's not too hard to figure out
I see it everyday
Those that were the farthest out
Have gone the other way

Circle left
You see them on the freeway
Left allemande, weave it go
But don't you try to fight it
An idea whose time has come
It's hip to be square
