I always thought that the song was pillorying Jakob's dad the way he would later in "Hand Me Down."--calling him immature (children, now they come in all ages...old men die with little boy faces) and referring to his penchant for womanizing (you always said that you need some...but you always had more than anyone.) I'm by no means confident of this interpretation, but it's something to think about.
