I agree with magicman: I am sure there are some other deeper under lying meanings to this song, but it is very typical of Warren Zevon. He is great at taking lyrics which have a dark disturbing message and playing them a up-beat snap your finger kind of tempo. Very tounge in cheek, no? Very Monty-Pythonesque type of Dark Humor. Also, Jimmymack makes a good analysis with excellent writting skills.
This song is one of those.."Take it for what it is" kind of songs, like "Used to Love Her" by GNR
