As suggestive as you propose that lyric to be, I don't think that's what it means in the context of the song. (Though perhaps not as crazy as the guy who once tried to convince me that "I Know Things Now" was specifically about anal sex, but I digress. Sorry for bringing that up.) I think the intention of the song is much closer to "All The Single Ladies" than "Satisfaction" lol.

Also, of course, the loose time structure of the show means that we really don't know when April and Bobby spent the night together in relation to the song. And of course if the song actually is indicative of a concrete event when the 3 of them were hounding him together (which seems unlikely).

I agree with your interpretation of that "juice" lyric. Also, the anal sex interpretation of I Know Things Now is making me genuinely L-O-L. Not sure I'll ever hear the song in quite the same way. Did Sondheim write that one in his basement?
