BNL word play

On their latest CD The Barenaked Ladies have employed a clever turn of phrase by invoking alternate meanings of a verb.

When I was a baby I learned how to suck,
You have raised it to an art form.

I like the way they force us to interpret what the antecedent of the pronoun "it" must be.
