All puns aside, this is a HAL of a great tune.....

The original. The way it was intended to be.

This one's for all you overgrown juvenile delinquents out there, with this truly excellent all-British rendition of "Officer Krupke," from West Side Story. The performer second from the right is a dead-on match for the original Broadway cast recording: these people did their homework, and the BBC Orchestra delivers and then some.

One very cute song, but left me a bit confused, is it about his gay drag queen, or about a merry woman of his dreams?

No, it's about a young man and a lost love, if memory serves me.
I remember an interview back in the 60s and he briefly talked about the song.

Yes, ok, I was just joking, trying to make a comparison, as what if someone today sang about his romantic gay company during night, it would have had completely different meaning, because the modern society has lost most of innocence and decency.

I remember when the song first came out and a bunch of us kids sat around trying to figure out WTF the song meant.
Of course our minds went to a big breasted lactating woman.

You're right, today's kids would most likely go down the gay road. Believe me, when I heard his interview, I was a bit surprised, because I hadn't thought about it's meaning in decades and instantly got a chuckle thinking back to how ludicrous our scenario was.
I liked ours better.

Ha ha ha, that was my first thought on the song, too. But the song appears to be much more innocent. A lost love, a less milk needed from the morning milkman, um alright then, it does make a perfect sense. Kind of sad, actually. I can imagine the first chill of a lonesome cool fall dawn just before the sunrise, a calm silent street in a suburb, someone steps on the street are heard as he's rushing for the first morning bus to get to work, the smell of the falling foliage mixed with smog and the smell of the milk from the half empty bottle...

Here's another one I often hear on the radio. I listen to a radio station called "Nostalgia", and they play a mix of the cool old music and some modern crap, they need it probably to gain more listeners. When I hear something I like, I try to figure out the lyrics and then find the song on You Tube. But when it's just a tune, like "Take Five", it's impossible to discover it. Maybe I could if I used some smart phone, there is an application called "Shazam", but I like to stick to my regular Nokia.

LOL, I always thought that was Paul Anka.
Try the I-Heart ap for music, it's the one I use for all radio, from talk to oldies, least commercials.

Thank you for your suggestion. I believe it's an application for mobile devices only, since it won't work on my PC, but I don't listen to the music or radio on my phone, because I'm trying to save the battery, lol. I'm also not sure if the application would work on my Nokia. (And I must praise my Nokia C2-05, after four years, it still works the same as the first day, a pity that smart phones have killed Nokia.)

LOL! Music is all I use my phone for.    I hate being tethered to a phone, so it sits next to my PC plugged in all the time charging.
If I do take it somewhere, I never turn it on unless I have to make a call, which I never have done..
