i've just gotten around to catching up on net.movies and can't quite 
understand why this discussion is located here, but i'll throw in my
two cents.  the above line can be taken two ways:
	
	--they're both glad the singer is a man.
	--the singer is glad he's a man and he's glad _lola_ is a man, too.

so there.  more discussion is probably unwarrented--of course the song is
meant to be ambiguous.  davies did his job well.
