Half the humor of this song is just the delivery, especially in the way he says "girlfriend," like iluvmybass pointed out. I can't even listen to it without cracking up. "Well, it doesn't change much, I still don't think that much of your GIRLFRIEND..." I especially love how the chorus starts out with a standard love song line ("I'd do anything for you") and then follows it up with, "It's just gonna take a little more money."
The title appears to be a reference to blowjobs and Monty Python. (A running gag in Holy Grail is the comparative strength of African vs. European swallows. And, of course, since the woman's a hooker and will do anything for money, that brings up the question of "spit or swallow.")
