Richard O’Brien
Sweet Transvestite
[FRANK]
How d'you do? I
See you've met
My faithful handyman
He's just a little brought down
Because when you knocked
He thought you were the candyman
Didn't ya, freaky?
Don't get strung out
By the way I look
Don't judge a book by its cover
I'm not much of a man
By the light of day
But by night, I'm one hell of a lover
I'm just a Sweet Transvestite
From Transsexual
Transylvania!
Let me
Show you around
Maybe play you a sound
You look like you're both pretty groovy
Or if you
Want something visual
That's not too abysmal
We could take in an old Steve Reeves movie
[BRAD (spoken)]
I'm glad we
Caught you at home!
Could we use your phone?
You see, we're both in a bit of a hurry
We'll just
Say where we are
Then we'll go right back to our car
We don't wanna be any worry!
[FRANK]
Well, you got
Caught with a flat? Well
How 'bout that?
Well, babies, don't you panic
By the light of the night
It'll all seem alright
I'll get you a satanic mechanic
I'm just a Sweet Transvestite
(Whip it up, Magenta, baby!)
From Transsexual
Transylvania!
Why don't you
Stay for the night, (Night!)
Or maybe a bite? (Bite!)
I could show you my favorite obsession
I've been
Makin' a man
With blonde hair and a tan
And he's good for relievin' my...
Tension
I'm just a Sweet Transvestite
From Transsexual
Transylvania!
HIT IT! HIT IT!
I'm just a Sweet Transvestite
(Sweet Transvestite)
From Transsexual
Transylvania! (Transylvania!)
(spoken)
So...
Come up to the lab
And see what's on the slab
I see you shiver with antici...
...pation
(sung)
BUT MAYBE THE RAIN
(spoken)
Is really to blame
So I'll remove the cause...
(chuckles)
BUT NOT THE SYMPTOM!
