Just now getting time to comment on this: I haven't heard all the
song yet, but "pink" is a fairly well-known word for female genitalia
(e.g. Carrie Fisher's book _Surrender the Pink_). I've never yet
heard it used as a word for male genitalia. Which would make the
line Pete talking to Roger.
Cheers,
