Lots of queer stuff out there that goes un-noticed.

Even in Omaha, much less California, this was "known" as a homosexual, UK-Wilde, type song. (Same as the DragonPuff is MaryJane)

WIKIPEDIA

Because of its proximity to Soho, the Circus was a significant meeting point in the underground history of homosexuals in Britain, especially as a focus for prostitution and informal encounters. When Alfred Kinsey visited London to study English sexual attitudes, he immediately asked to be taken on a sexual tour of Soho. The world around Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square astounded him. Comparing London to the Hispanic sexual cultures of Central America, Kinsey claimed that he had never seen so much street prostitution, except in Havana.

A brothel...the origin [probably] lies in the verb "to goose," meaning to tickle....film 1971, McCabe and Mrs Miller You thing I'm gonna let some goddam chippy come up here and tell me how to run a gooseberry ranch?

And thirty more references to "goose."
