From a piano exercise to an hit with lyrics at the edge again:
Believed to be an order from Gilbert O'Sullivan to his dog ("Get Down!"), the singer is actually referring to a girl in the song behaving as a dog jumping on him, hence the request to "get down". [Wikipedia]

Clair was the then three-year-old daughter of Gilbert O'Sullivan's manager. At that time, this was obviously not a problem - today such lyrics would be stopped at the latest in the administration of the record company.
But the carefree, from today's perspective: naive handling of the subject also suggests the presumption of innocence.
