The song is about sex. At first glance, you think of the adjective "sexy" with an extra x in the middle... but no, it's "sex" with and extra "x", and then an extra "y" at the end. (Perhaps as a reference to the XY chromosome... more likely just because "it's extra, baby!")

This is another song where they are not taking themselves too seriously. There's a talking part at the beginning, because a lot of great songs about sex start with talking (Barry White would be lost without that device). By having him just say "this is the way the talking part goes", he's basically saying "it doesn't matter what I say here... I'm just supposed to talk."

As for the "she want's to be your man" line, the mind boggles. That's just downright kinky.
