I think she had a clue: I was listening to one of her early recordings
recently and made note of her oddly-placed choice of caesura in the
line "I just adore his ass -- king for more..."

It was a little disturbing in later years when she recorded that duet
Bring Out Those Old Records and her son Larry sang "...you 'turned on'
every laddie / With My Heart Belongs to Daddy" but approving wasn't
the point of her statement, just understanding.
