WORKING GIRL

Standing on the corner, waiting for a customer.
Stockings and stiletto heels, I'm acting out me part.
Half a ton of make-up, smelling like a knocking-shop.
Showing off me thruppn'y bits -- God, I look a tart!
 
Standing on the corner, freezing in me mini-skirt.
Ready for some action if a punter comes along.
Sniffling in the shadows, shivering and wondering
What mental aberration made me come out in a thong.
 
Standing on the corner, radiant with loveliness.
Scanning all the motors coming crawling up the street.
Showing off me stretch-marks, belly-button on display.
Some lucky punter is about to get a treat.
 
Standing on the corner, waiting for a gentleman.
Using all the artifice a woman can employ.
Ladders in me fishnets. Veins that are varicose.
Cellulitis also will be his to enjoy.
 
Standing on the corner, talking to a businessman.
I'll go down on his expenses if we both agree a price.
Three or four Viagra, taken with Dom Perignon;
He's really looking forward to an evening of vice.
 
CLICK!
 
Standing on the corner, cautioning and cuffing him.
Punter is complaining that he's been unfairly tricked.
Showing him me warrant card, P.C. Eileen Atkinson.
I'm the Old Bill, sir, and you sir -- are nicked!
