I dig a pony...horse...heroin. Celebrate anything you want.
I do a road hog...groupie...penetrate any place you want.
Pick a moon dog - Early Lennon band in Liverpool was Johnny and the Moondogs. Radiate? Star?
Roll a stoney...the Rolling Stones, imitating "everyone you know, including the Beatles, which they did throughout the entire 60's
Syndicate any boat you row? WTF??? I've always wondered about that lyric.
For those of you who know John's written work in his two books, you know about his love of wordplay, puns, and twisting words around to make new ones. Any thoughts about "syndicate any boat you row?"
Perhaps a reference to the media coverage/fame? This goes along with your interpretation of "roll a stoney" (which is probably also a bit of wordplay - i.e. rollin' up a joint, which coincidentally was also very popular back in the day and goes along with the line about imitating "everyone you know"). Syndicate means to sell, especially with reference to periodicals and television. In some ways, maybe it's a critique of the Beatles' fame/media obsession, and a round about way of telling people to think for themselves.

There are also a lot of sexual innuendos, probably just for fun, and also in keeping with the message of individuality.
