Lyrics
[Verse 1]
How do 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
[Verse 2]
Don't get strung up 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
[Chorus]
I'm just a sweet transvestite
From Transsexual, Transylvania, ha, ha
[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge]
I'm glad we caught you at home, could we use your phone?
We're both in a bit of a hurry
Right
We'll just say where we are, then go back to the car
We don't want to be any worry
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
I'm just a sweet transvestite
From Transsexual, Transylvania, ha, ha
[Verse 5]
Why don't you stay for the night?
Night
Or maybe a bite?
Bite
I could show you my favorite obsession
I've been making a man, with blonde hair and a tan
And he's good for relieving my tension
[Chorus]
I'm just a sweet transvestite
From Transsexual, Transylvania, ha, ha
Hit it, hey, I'm just a sweet transvestite (Sweet transvestite)
From Transsexual, Transylvania, ha, ha (Transylvania, ha, ha)
[Outro]
So, come up to the lab, and see what's on the slab
I see you shiver with antici-pation
But maybe the rain
Isn't really to blame
So, I'll remove the cause
Mmm, mm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
But not the symptom
