Cover art for I Got The News lyrics by Steely Dan

Here is a good interpretation: She is generally involved in mischief/capers, she is a mark which is a target of criticism because of who she is and the poor way she acts. Yes she knows how to play the game(hustle), daddy is rich and so she can get away with her mischief cause daddy helps, but he('I') got the news: He knows what she really is. How did you know means 'how did you know we could be an item'. Slow down I'll tell you when means he wants to initiate sex and less often than she, I may never walk again is a reference to his 'soreness' from sex, Broadway Dutchess means she is an emotionally volatile actress type personality. Half as much and etc. means she is delusional about herself, what he hears about her being a mentally sick woman may be true, but he would want to know her anyway. And yes, Spanish kissing is cunnilingus.
