Well, this one is a serious head-scratcher, but two observations:
Given the year this was recorded (mid-50's?), this is surely one of the earliest cultural references to Dick Van Dyke from an external source.
It eventually occurred to me that this song was likely intended to be a duet, between a man and a woman. Notice the lines she sings in a comically low register, and how they trade off with lines in her normal singing voice. And while I still have no clue as to what the song means, the "man" parts also seem to be much more cynical, lyrically.
