What follows is an excerpt from the official Joe Dimaggio website. I gotta laugh every time I hear the song. Also, there's the lines referring to a "hiding place where no one ever goes" until she met Ben, he went there, ".hide it from the kids." Which these lines could refer to just about anothing illicit like drugs or alchohol, but taken in the context of the song, it might be a secret "toy" not meant for the kids. to help herself in the absence of her "slugger". Other lines "We'd like to help you learn to help yourself.Look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes,Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home." These be encouraging Mrs. One in his profession might also be called "slugger" and his main implement was made of wood. The "Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio line" followed by "a nation turns it's lonely eyes to you" does not refer to the man himself but rather his ability to hit "home runs" wink, wink, nudge, nudge. If you think of the main premise of the movie it's simple to get the meaning of the song. I suppose only Paul and Art could ever tell us.
