Lyrics are below. The line you are referring to is just a bunch of nonsense lyrics. John has said in interviews that he couldn't come up with anything there that he liked so he just kind of mumbled into the mic.
Play Guitar
Written by Dan Ross, John Mellencamp and Larry Crane
You may drive around your town
In a brand new shiny car
Your face in the wind and your haircut's in
Friends think you're bizarre
You may find a cushy job and I hope that you go far
But if you really want to taste some cool success
You better learn to play guitar
(Chorus)
Play guitar, play guitar
Play guitar, oh yeah
Play guitar, play guitar
Play guitar, oh yeah
Well, you got your eyes on the cheerleader queen
And you're walkin' her home from school
You know that she's only seventeen
But you know that you're a fool
You know you can't touch that stuff
Without money or a brand new car
Let me give you some good advice young man
You better learn to play guitar
(Chorus)
Play guitar, play guitar
Play guitar, oh yeah
Play guitar, play guitar
Play guitar, oh yeah
All women around the world want a phony rock star
Who plays guitar
Well you pump your iron and shine your shoes
And wear your hair just right
You go down out on cruisin' street
'Cause you want to score tonight
Ra da ra da ra da
You really want to show your scars
Forget all about that macho shit
And learn how to play guitar
