Dedicated Follower Of Fashion

.

They seek him here, they seek him there,

His clothes are loud, but never square.

It will make or break him so he's got to buy the best,

'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.

.

And when he does his little rounds,

'Round the boutiques of London Town,

Eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends,

'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.

.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).

He thinks he is a flower to be looked at,

And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight,

He feels a dedicated follower of fashion.

.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).

There's one thing that he loves and that is flattery.

One week he's in polka-dots, the next week he is in stripes.

'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.

.

They seek him here, they seek him there,

In Regent Street and Leicester Square.

Everywhere the Carnabetian army marches on,

Each one an dedicated follower of fashion.

.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).

His world is built 'round discoteques and parties.

This pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best

'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.

.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).

He flits from shop to shop just like a butterfly.

In matters of the cloth he is as fickle as can be,

'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.

He's a dedicated follower of fashion.

He's a dedicated follower of fashion.

.
