First - there is an error in the above lyrics. (Why are there always errors in the Aussie lyrics - must be our accent :)
It should be The Garden is doresetted (a made up word)
That lady, she's so corsetted.
The impact this has of course is that it implies the woman (wife) is wearing a corset - not literally but that she is restricted by her husband. So she rebels...sexually. Firstly with the taxi driver, then with mother's little helper (which normally is valium but in this case is something else beginning with v) and later with giving BJ's (hummers) to all the MP's (from which she is saving the money to leave her hubby and move to the Gold Coast).

so if it's all about this lady (the wife) wtf does the term "boys light up" have to do with it?

It's what many blokes do when the "sing-song dance" reaches the "cheap tent show" part of the performance. So now you know, know, know, know, know...
