Breaks down into:

"would you be a happy boy"
"would you be a happy girl"

Grammatically, it's not the best combination of words but that's what he meant.

I think you're assuming that he's singing the song to a mate . . . instead, think of it as him singing it to the world (not one person).

Ahhh...that's a good interpetation Se7en. I never thought of it that way. It makes much more sense than siging to someone who can change genders at the drop of a hat! As for the rest of the comments, what is going on??? lol

Wow, I think he's a great and clever lyricist. That's what's kept me listening to the songs all these years...
