Lyrics
Big Bird's Yellow Book: (spoken)

Square huh? Well, maybe I am But I like it And I'm not ashamed of it I don't have to like what other people like All right, I'm square

(sung)

Things other people find boring Those are the things I'm adoring I just love pigeons and I don't care If other people say I'm square

Oh, I love galoshes, they give me a thrill Cold mashed potatoes, I can't get my fill I go for plumbing and I always will

I'm square I'm square

I'm fond of yawning when evening is done I like the beach when there's not any sun Emptying ashtrays is my kind of fun

I'm square I'm square

I love Kleenex I can't get enough I think potato chips, hangers and paper clips Are wonderful stuff

Watching a haircut is my kind of kicks You ought to see my collection of bricks And give me some cards and I'll show you some tricks

(spoken)

Okay, pick a card, any card Now don't show it to me Abracadabra! The four of diamonds, right? Hey, come on, wake up!

(sung)

I'm square I'm square

I love laundry It's quiet and clean I think banana skins, place mats and safety pins Are perfectly keen

I go for music I'm terribly hip The latest dances I do them with pep Play me a waltz and I'll show you a step 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 1, 2 ... (jumbles words)

Ahem ... I'm square I'm square

I'm nuts about rocks and high button shoes Argyle socks and pigeons in the news I'm not rectangular I'm not triangular I am what I am, I don't care!

I'm square I'm square I'm square I'm squa...Oh, gosh, what a lovely fire hydrant!
