Amazed no one has weighed in on the lyrics to this song. It's a small-sale masterpiece, buy (like the Stones' Stray Cat Blues) might offend modern sensibilities. But it's damn funny.
Thoughts: Although printed as "I like your laugh and a hot romance." it always sounds to me like he's singe "I like your laugh and your awkward math" (which I assume he's referring to the age difference of the couple.
(For that matter, I hear the girl's "ridiculous age" would start a "sweet outrage" as opposed to a "state outrage.")
Also, "I'm much obliged for the pure white ride" is a great reminder - along with this entire song - of how joyfully decadent the early 70s were.
Like Stewart said in another classic tune "Laugh it up, you didn't ask to come here anyway."
