On the record, I hear, "Take me back to Detroit, Tyrone," and, "stinky pinky." In parts of East Texas, "pinky" is slang for vaginal fingering or female masturbation. I think this song is partly inspired by the notion of a guy who won't have sex with his wife because of genital odor.
I think Gibby is probably making fun of a stereotypical male chauvinist bigoted slob type--perhaps a real person, since truth is often stranger than fiction. At the end of the song, his sexually frustrated wife gets sick of it all and splits.
Regardless, though, I love Paul Leary's guitar work on this song. I sampled and edited one of the chords for a future project of my own.
