Comments
This work contains lots of double entendres in which one meaning has sexual connotations, making the song very racy for its day. With altered lyrics, the Oldsmobile Division of General Motors (which was dissolved in 2004 after a 107-year run) used the song for several decades as an advertising jingle.
