Rod Stewart utilizes synecdoche--defined as "a literary device in which a part of something represents the whole"--to express his admiration for a nubile and possibly underage female (depending on the jurisdiction). While "Rod" praises the female's various attributes, relying in large part on crude sexual metaphors, he admits that her youthful vigor is somewhat draining to a 33-year-old constitution (one can't help but be reminded of Mr. Stewart allegedly having had his stomach drained of sexual fluid in an emergency hospital procedure after an encounter with a gang of sailors; or of General Jack D. Ripper's fear of a "Commie conspiracy" to sap his "precious bodily fluids" in Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film classic Dr. Strangelove).
But I digress. In the end--not that Rod ever suggests this particular method of copulation--it is suggested that the young nubile invite her mother 'round for a good three-way snogging and schtupping. Mr. Stewart bolsters his case by setting his leering come-ons to a nakedly derivative Rolling Stones-esque boogie shuffle, a musical conceit that has no doubt netted Mick & Keef many a young nubile over the years. In conclusion, this song was an altogether successful effort by Mr. Stewart, or so one would guess.
