Memorable Lyrics:

• "...I slid into my copping haberdashery/And gave into the original jones: sex."
• "The hornies occupied my being"
• "She screamed and said, 'Are you asking to make love to me?'/I said, 'Is pig what's in pork?'"

The singer awakens from a wet dream horny, and goes in search of a sexual partner. He finds a woman, who agrees but express worry over the possibility of getting pregnant. The singer says "spit don't make babies" and the woman agrees. Afterwards, her wig is half-off, and the singer has "the filthies." Some interpret this to mean the woman was a transvestite.
