TheFranzFerdinand is correct about the original meaning of the "pork and beans" vs. "more chicken than any man ever seen". That's a classic poor rural Southern black blues cultural reference, in that the Back Door Man is bragging about many housewives he's gotten to short-change their husbands out of the good meat with their dinner because they like him better. The concept of somebody "getting the best" of your wife is a similar idea, in that the Back Door Man is bragging about how he gets the best food and the best sex from any lonely housewife he wants. "Eating chicken", is, of course, also a blues double entendre for cunnilingus.
Also: "little girl" is just a Southern blues term of endearment for whatever chickie he's banging that day. It does not actually mean a child. Duh. "The men don't know, but the little girl understand" means literally that in his experience, the husband is generally clueless to his presence, but the lonely housewives ALL understand what HE'S all about when they meet him.
The whole song is just a big brag, basically. "I'm the stud who your wife's fucking while you're at work, I do it all the time, she likes me more than you, I ate all your good food and snuck out the back door and you're too stupid to do anything about it."
@Bullzeye that may be a term of endearment to other artists, but I don't know with Jim. I think he just likes little girls. Didn't he mary one of his wives when she was 16? Didn't Steven tyler? I think it's just in the indoctrinated jazz scene to like little girls.
