It's Steve Miller mis-hearing an earlier lyric by the Medallions... "puppetutes" a word coined by Vernon Green.
In 1954, Vernon Green of the Medallions wrote a song called "The Letter" in which he used the words "puppetutes of love", a combination of "puppets" and "prostitutes". A puppetute was a woman of your fantasies who would do anything you wanted.
