As far as I'm concerned that song means "time to go for a pee".

Round here (Edinburgh/Lothians) it seems to be the song of choice among bellowing overweight alcoholics who haven't been able to get within a semitone of the right pitch for 20 years. I guess it's short enough to memorize however many brain cells you've lost and nobody's going to notice if you lose a word or two.
