A tilt-a-whirl is a carnival ride, and I'm not sure how one might "mad dog" it, but I'm assuming it's just meant to be some twisted imagery. Does anyone else think this song is about Rickie Lee Jones? The lines "Are you still jumping out of windows in expensive clothes?/Well I fell in love with your sailor's mouth and your wounded eyes" make me think that it might be. She was supposedly kind of a wild child back in the days when she and Waits knew each other.
When he says that they're lining up to mad dog her tilt a whirl, he's talking about oral sex. The tilt a whirl symbolizes the movement of a twirling skirt. The whole song is about a tramp. The red house symbolizing a brothel in reference to the red light that hangs outside.
