I know what it meant years ago. 😃

That meaning doesn’t seem to fit the song.

manager is on the phone for a slice of that poon. Agents beefing in 10% of that poon, drummer wants a raise, promoter wants a taste. Give me that poon

Money seems like what he’s talking about.

Is that word slang for money now?

It’s a funny song. Lots of double meanings.

I’d swear he’s talking money.
