Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a brand new dance
But I don't know its name
That people from bad homes
Do again and again
[Verse 2]
It's big and it's bland
Full of tension and fear
They do it over there
But we don't do it here
[Chorus]
Fashion, turn to the left
Fashion, turn to the right
Ooh, fashion
We are the goon squad, and we're coming to town
Beep-beep, beep-beep
[Chorus]
Listen to me, don't listen to me
Talk to me, don't talk to me
Dance with me, don't dance with me
No, beep-beep
[Verse 3]
There's a brand new talk
But it's not very clear, ooh, bop
That people from good homes
Are talking this year, ooh, bop, fashion
[Verse 4]
It's loud and it's tasteless
I've not heard it before, ooh, bop
You shout it while you're dancing
On the dance floor, ooh, bop, fashion
[Chorus]
Fashion, turn to the left
Fashion
Fashion
We are the goon squad, and we're coming to town
Beep-beep, beep-beep
[Chorus]
Listen to me, don't listen to me
Talk to me, don't talk to me
Dance with me, don't dance with me
No, beep-beep, beep-beep
[Bridge]
Ooh, bop, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion
Ooh, bop, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
[Bridge]
Ooh, bop, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion
Ooh, bop, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
[Bridge]
Ooh, bop, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion
Ooh, bop, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion, la-la
La-la-la-la-la
[Outro]
Ooh, bop, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion
Ooh, bop, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
