Ok, so I've remembered: the song is based on the crime novels about detective Mike Hammer by Mickey Spillane. It had all the cliché ingredients to make awesome fifties hard boiled crime fiction: a violent detective, roaming bars and drinking till the break of dawn; longlegged beauties wearing tight fitting trenchcoats and seductively lighting their cigarettes with silver Zippos.... Check it out, it's hilarious.

I always heard this as 'She was dressed as before the bed', which doesn't sound very good but makes more obvious sense than Biffo the Bear. Brilliant song. Great sax solo.

this is so incredibly f*n funny.......I've been listening to "the best of" (with this on it) for over 20 years--they are so damn funny, and I don't currently know ANYONE who's ever heard of them. Too bad-it's too much fun to share this insanity with someone else who gets it! They just kill me! Brilliant! Thanks!
