Okay, I think that you could safely say that the comment about old chinese food is indeed said tongue in cheek. Why in the world would you write a song about chinese leftovers?

Remember, this is two of the biggest gay icons singing, and it is definitely about having sex, or more specifically giving a blowjob or swallowing semen if you want to be literal about it. Something "old whores" might be forced to do to keep them attractive in the market.

And I mean, it ain't nothing like sex to "get you going in the morning", right?

The last part mentioning "either hell or here will do" is probably referring to that he doesn't care if he's performing a sin or not.
