Calling all cars calling all cars
Be on the lookout for Dangerous Dan
This man is wanted by the F.B.I. - 10-4 

Said he's dangerous, armed and extremely dangerous 

The day he walked into my life he caught me with my guard down 
Don't let him talk his sweet talk on ya 
'Cause I've hit on the bait that he threw and I got hooked
Don't let it happen to you 

Said he's dangerous, armed and extremely dangerous 
Said he's dangerous, armed and extremely dangerous 

The day I came into his charms who would think that he would succeed 
 
Then go on his way leaving me here with another mouth to feed 
So girls if you see him, you might think that you need him 
He might look like the average guy, but he's wanted by the F.B.I. 

Said he's dangerous, armed and extremely dangerous 
Said he's dangerous, armed and extremely dangerous 

Said he's dangerous 
Oh, hell do it - bleed the life from me 
Said he's dangerous 
He don't care for nobody but his self 

Said he's dangerous, armed and extremely dangerous 
Said he's dangerous, armed and extremely dangerous 

Look out girls, he might be 
Walkin' the streets right now 
Said he's dangerous, extremely dangerous

First Choice

First Choice was an American girl group vocal music trio from Philadelphia. The group produced the disco hits "Armed and Extremely Dangerous", "Smarty Pants", "The Player", "Love Thang", "Let No Man Put Asunder" and "Dr. Love". They were signed to soul label Philly Groove Records and to disco label Salsoul Records. The group was influential to early house and techno music because of heavy sampling mostly from the track "Let no man put asunder" by numerous artists, including Todd Terry (eg. "Royal house - Can you Party" , "Jungle brothers - I'll house you" (arranged by Todd Terry), and "Jazz anthem"). more »
