This might be the only song out there where you can hear the Beatles sing the word "poop" (in the scatological sense):
Bad Boy:
It's a cover, so John gets a bit of a pass. I guess.
ok-cleek
I guess I could use some rearranging

I’ve always thought it was using the word in the sense of being exhausted, like “whew, I’m pooped.” Sorry to be a party pooper.
Well he worries his teacher till she’s a-ready to poop,
From rockin’ and a rollin’ spinnin’ in a hoola hoop,
Well his rock-n-roll has gotta stop
Junior’s head is hard as rock.
i’ve never heard “ready to poop” used to mean “ready to be exhausted”. though i suppose it’s possible. crap.
crap
In the scatological sense of the term?
“ready to poop” would have to mean (assuming the songwriter had this sense in mind) “ready to wear [somebody] out”.
In the scatological sense of the term?
no, dice.
“Well he worries his teacher till she’s a-ready to wear-out” ?
i guess that works, kinda. but i don’t think there’s a way around the scatological meaning; it’s at least a double-entendre.
next up: is “My Ding-a-Ling” really “an allegory for the struggle for racial equality from the days of slavery to the Civil Rights movement” ?
