It's Important to Be Trendy - Momus

When the fashion’s to be friendly

When the fashion’s to be wild

It’s important to be trendy

Shake your body like a child

Have you been to see The Sandals

Have you been to see The Goats?

They do trippy gigs with candles

Wearing Afghan coats

When the fashion’s to be crazy

When the fashion’s to be free

It’s important to be trendy

Catch the disease

First I’m going to pierce my penis

Then I’m going to pierce my eye

Get a tattoo on my anus

I’m a trendy guy

It’s important to be funky

It’s important to be free

Shake your body like a junky

Me be you and you be me

I’ve got a woolly hat with pom poms

I’ve got rucksacks too

In the shape of baby pandas

That guzzle real bamboo

Stock your fridge with vodka shots

Keep some candy round your neck

Play The Astronauts

On your 8 track deck

It’s important to be trendy

It’s important to be cool

Be a trendy not a stinky

Be a funky not a fool

When the fashion’s to be friendly

When the fashion’s to be wild

It’s important to be trendy

Shake your body like a child

And I’m switching back to vinyl

I love my analogue synth

Got a nick in my eyebrow

And a diamond in my tooth

Dance around like a gorilla

In a wild and funky

Be a mella yella fella

Walking swanky like a gay

I saw a culture in a hairstyle

Saw an empire in a rave

I’m a connoisseur of trainers

I’m a rubber slave

When the fashion’s to be friendly

When the fashion’s to be wild

It’s important to be trendy

Shake your body like a child

Shake it now!
