Putting on the Dog Lyrics

You gotta stomp, whistle and scream
You gotta wake right up in your dreams
You gotta jump, whittle and drive
Keep that feeling alive
You gotta kick holler and shout
I'm gonna tell you what it's all about
You gotta tell me that you love me
Tell me that you're mine
Cause we're putting on the dog tonight

Puttin' on the dog tonight.

Flip, follow and fly
Just do it now and don't ask why
You gotta strut, wiggle and slide
Let everyone know that you're alive
You gotta crank, gallop and twist
Do it once and you'll never resist
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you're mine
Cause we're putting on the dog tonight

Puttin' on the dog tonight.

Well we'll goin' to a suki jump
It's rainin... it pours
In a big ol' Lincoln with the suicide doors
Top that bottle from the brim to the dregs
You ain't dancing til you cross your legs
Cause we're putting on the dog tonight

Puttin' on the dog tonight.

Ok, I love this song dearly, but what do you think he means when he says 'You ain't dancing til you cross (close??) your legs"?
