The song describes a low-life world of poverty, heavy drinking ("No more credit from the liquor store"), promiscuity / prostitution, and theft. It features a girl who is very good at pleasing the singer in bed, though she takes advantage of his lust for her and takes all of his money. It is implied that she is promiscuous: "The way she do me boy, she might do you too." She takes advantage of the singer's friends as well, such as the mentioned "Potato head Bobby" (which references the main character in another Zappa song, "San Ber'dino") and George Duke with the lyrics "Took George's watch like they always do. (It was a Timex too!)"[citation needed]
Solos
In the Bongo Fury version, Denny Walley's slide guitar solo is followed by Beefheart's sinuous harmonica licks and a lengthy Zappa guitar solo. The simple structure of the song allowed a lot of improvisation, so a solo from almost any instrument would fit in well. One solo was named "Jim and Tammy's Upper Room" and was put on Zappa's 1988 instrumental album Guitar.[1]
