this song's nonsensical, comedic lyrics deal with various objects upon which the narrator's buttocks are placed, such as a step, a taxi, a railing, cheese, bubblegum, a dog, a cat, a telephone, an old man, a battleship and the letters swedish in front of the swedish medical center, from which the name of the song is derived. he claims that the objects become lonely when he is not there to put his bum on them before asking the listeners to "get the poo off my bum".
