Jolly roger in a pickup
Has a packet on the horses
He's a docker with a bucket -
Just the ticket in a thicket.
Silly sally isn't pally
With the crackers in the alley:
She's a smacker and a whacker -
Wouldn't dally with a slacker.
Sally keeping in her locker
Little packets for the docker jolly roger
(looking pretty, just the sucker for a shocker)

This song is a tale of fixing horse races.
Jolly Roger is a docker with a bucket. - A docker is someone who chops the long tails off horses, using a docking tool. Traditionally horses are docked so their tail doesn't interfere with harnesses or carriages. We know he works in the stables, so he's in a position to get to the horses.
Just the ticket in a thicket - this implies he solves problems
Has a packet on the horses - This is a bit vague but we learn more from Silly Sally
First Silly Sally verse - this establishes what kind of man she likes. She's a smacker and a whacker - tough girl . Wouldn't dally with a slacker. - She wants a guy that gets stuff done.
Sally keeping in her locker Little packets for the docker jolly roger - So what kind of little packets is Sally keeping? Knowing that Jolly Roger works around race horses, they are likely performance enhancing drugs, like growth hormones, steroids, or blood doping oxygen increasers.
She's just a sucker for a shocker - again stating that she likes a bad boy like this race fixer Jolly Roger.
