It's about a dirty old man that would have kids over to watch dirty movies, so he could show them how to masturbate and/or have sex.
16/8 is a reference to the size of the film. At time 16mm film was new and big, and the theaters played 16mm films. But most home movies (and underground porn/snuff/kiddieporn) were on 8mm.
Also, that last verse says "Take off your chinos and set right down". Chinos are pants.
@rainwalk I know Donald Fagen's New Jersey accent can be difficult to decipher, but he says "cheaters" not chinos. Cheaters are eyeglasses or sunglasses.

@rainwalk it doesn’t mean pants it means glasses. My Dad is not a dirty old mad. It was about when my mom and Dad were dating...she was about to turn 18. They have been married for 17 years and have 6 children. Get facts right. Go straight to someone who knows the facts.
