Here is my selection of songs about postmen - and not one of them mentions dangerous dogs!
Mailman, bring me no more blues - Buddy Holly
Return to Sender - Elvis Presley
youtube clip from the film: Girls! Girls! Girls!
lyrics:
Return to sender, return to sender
I gave a letter to the post man, he put it his sack.
Bright and early next morning, he brought my letter back.
She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
We had a quarrel, a lovers' spat,
I'd write "I'm sorry" but my letter keeps coming back.
So when I dropped it in the mailbox, I sent it 'Special D'
Bright and early next morning, it came right back to me.
She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such person, no such zone.
This time I'm gonna take it myself
And put it right in her hand
And if it comes back the very next day
Then I'll understand.
The writing on it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such person, no such zone.
Return to sender, return to sender.
written by Winfield Scott and Otis Blackwell

Mr Postman - The Beatles
'With the Beatles' album < youtube audio track with lyrics.
Originally written by William Garnet, apparently re-written by Georgia Dobbins of the Marvelettes, also recorded by The Carpenters.
And finally...
Postman Pat
sing along!
Postman Pat. Postman Pat. Postman Pat and his black and white cat.
Early in the morning, just as day is dawning, he picks up all the post bags in his van.
Postman Pat. Postman Pat. Postman Pat and his black and white cat.
All the birds are singing, and the day is just beginning. Pat feels he's a really happy man.
Everybody knows his bright red van, all his friends will smile as he waves to greet them,
Maybe, you can never be sure, there'll be knock, Ring, Letters through your door.
Postman Pat. Postman Pat. Postman Pat and his black and white cat.
All the birds are singing, and the day is just beginning. Pat feels he's a really happy man.
Pat feels he's a really happy man. Pat feels he's a really happy man.
