Hip To Be Square
(AEGO 101) Art LaVigne
OPENER
Grand Square
I use 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 (or SWING and PROMENADE)
It's hip to be square. It's hip to be square.
FIGURE
HEADS (SIDES) SQUARE THRU GO FOUR now
Around that corner DO-SI-DO
you TOUCH 1/4, do a WALK AND DODGE
A PARTNER TRADE and then a RIGHT AND 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.....
MIDDLE BREAK
Grand Square
32 BEAT HORN INSTRUMENTAL
(alternative cut has full 64 beats of horns)
LEFT ALLEMANDE that corner, your partner DO-SI-DO
LEFT ALLEMANDE and PROMENADE
It's hip to be Square
So hip to be.....
CLOSER
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 (or SWING and PROMENADE)
It's hip to be square. It's hip to be square.
