Hey are there any Alan Parsons Project fans out there?

I have a question about the inserted spoken part (sort of chanted) at the 2:19 mark in Hawkeye, an instrumental selection. I like the song, and every time I hear it, I think, "What is being said there ... and why?" Strange. Someone obviously went to a lot of trouble to put it in and get it right, so it's obviously not an accident of any kind.

It is a male voice shouting out, in tempo, but very quickly, a phrase that sounds like "All you want is her to bang you!' I suppose that could be what it is, but why? I used to think it was something like "All you want is in Urbania" or maybe "All you want is in the manual". But not anymore.

Anyhow, I'm an engineer and avid experimenter/questioner/amateur musician /etc so finally, today, I decide to sample the section with Audacity, add some digital processing, slow it down, and "All you want is for her to bang you!" is the best I can pull from this enigmatic section. I'd love to know the story behind this "lyric" in an otherwise jazzy and upbeat instrumental song.

I searched the web and couldn't find diddly.
