In your high school photo
You looked so young and naïve
Now I heard you got a nickname:
The lady with the leash
Was it funny on the midnight shift?
I bet you had your fair share of stiffs
They were onerous odours
I've got to admit
Cause you're a dangerous, dangerous
A dangerous beauty
It's plainfully plain to us
You're doing your duty
Who you got there in that hood?
You look so fancy in those photographs
With your rubber gloves on
You're a favourite with the Chiefs of Staff
You're doing such a wonderful job
You're a natural at working with dogs
Keeping everyone awake at night
With a touch of the prods
Well you're a dangerous, dangerous
A dangerous beauty
Yeah, disdainfully, painfully
Beating up booty - yeah
You're a dangerous, dangerous
A dangerous beauty
Beauty
Well you're a dangerous, dangerous
A dangerous beauty
If I was your captain
Would you salute me?
Well you're a dangerous, dangerous
A dangerous beauty
What'd I say?
Yeah everybody - beauty
Everybody now, yeah
Are you one bad apple in a box?
Yeah, dangerous
Dealing out electric shocks
I've seen the gloves coming off - dangerous
If looks could be killing
I bet you would shoot me
Yeah you're a dangerous...

You're almost the first person to bring that up.
I never hustled that one. But, yes, it's pretty strong.
