This is what I always thought it was:

Seaside lover gonna rock to boat Gonna roll it up, that super dope Better pass it around or stick in on a pin Fang-tooth lover with the bunny skin A plastic lady she's a'ready to roll Straight from my heart through thy soul And I don't care about dirty hair Or praise to queen and Yogi Bear

So get back in the boat, Hey!

Vicarious pleasure in my brain Fantastic lies never the same Identity, come set me free Come set me out to mystery

A mystery night! Hey!

Silly little rabbit, trix are for kids Your carrot souflee's got me on the skids But I don't care about dirty hair Gonna fuzzy-finger Miss Bunny Tail

So kick on till you drop Hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hop.


At least when my band covered it, that's how I sang it, though sometimes I'd say "flame-toothed lover" instead of "fang-toothed lover"

Out of song contest, "fang-toothed" makes more sense, in context, "flame-toothed" makes almost as much sense, and it sounds more like "flame-toothed" to me.

I think it's about a group of young friends getting high together. The quality of the drugs is crap, but they don't really care, as the important part is the social setting, but of course, none of them will break the illusion by admitting it.
