From what she's said, that song was never meant to make it on the album. It was more of a recording exercise meant to loosen up the band and give them a low-stakes taste of a professional session. The lyrics themselves were written as a joke: a bunch of stupid scenarios that they'd then incorrectly brush off as ironic to make themselves laugh.

Everyone you're saying should have warned her actually begged her to include the song on Jagged Little Pill. She said that she pushed back, but ultimately wasn't that precious about the song, since she figured it wouldn't be popular since she didn't take it seriously.
