What an ignorant comment. The song is clearly ironic and is, I think, one of immense pathos. It is not a 'tribute' to prostitution but makes it seem just as seedy as it really is. For example, the lady is not 'getting laid' but 'being laid', love is 'just a job'. And look at the descriptions of the sailors who use her ("many have used her...") - "you won't need a gutter to sleep in".
