It is about visiting a brothel/drug one stop shop entertainment district in a foreign land, Perhaps like Morroco (a well known 60's and 70's drug haven, where you can satisfy all your devlish desires.The authorities look the other way, you can also obtain fake passports or put a contract on someone(Pepe, the local bouncer/thug/hitman can get rid of all our mug shots)People who go their are Zombies because they are lost souls or are drugged zombied out. The yo yo for a ride reference is about an experience with a prostitute (drugs, young women and prostitutes are reoccurring themes in Steely Dan's lyrics, no suprise here about the Rock and Roll decadent lifestlye) There is a mention about Turkish dues(Morroco is in Turkey and if you want to play you got to pay). The can can jaques show are the sex shows which by the lines around the block must be very popular There is a reference to yellow fever and scurvy (Perhaps he is mentioning the Asian women and or drug addicts due to needle sharing or poor diet.
