Glee Cast - Sweet Transvestite Lyrics






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
Don't get strung out by the way that I look
Don't judge a book by its cover
I'm not much of a girl by the light of day
But by night I'm one hell of a lover

I'm just a Sweet Transvestite from Sensational, Transylvania

So 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

I'm glad we caught you at home, could we use your phone?
We're both in a bit of a hurry
We'll just say where we are, then go back to the car
We don't want to be any worry

So you got caught with a flat, well, how about that?
Well babies, don't you panic
By the light of the night when it all seems alright
I'll get you a satanic mechanic

I'm just a Sweet Transvestite from Sensational, Transylvania.

So why don't you stay for the night? Or maybe a bite?
I could show you my favorite obsession
I've been making a man with blond hair and a tan
And he's good for relieving my tension

I'm just a Sweet Transvestite from Sensational, Transylvania.

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, but not the symptom

Glee Cast Sweet Transvestite Comments
  1. P.... B....

    Good, but not better than the original

  2. F.... C....

    Okay compared to the original this sucks, like she’s a great singer but come on

  3. S.... R....

    🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Slays everytime Yaaaaas Amber Riley

  4. B.... 9....

    Im very upset each and every time she sing "from sensational" instead of "from transexual" like this is the hole point of the character in the Rocky Horror show and still there is no way this word is getting in the glee version ☹ but I love this performance tho

  5. C.... C....

    I don’t think they have the rights to sing it word from word like that. Or maybe couldn’t afford it

  6. M.... J....

    Nope. Nice Voice though.

  7. E.... d....

    What happened to Transsexual?

  8. h.... g....

    Hands down my favorite non original singer =D

  9. B.... M....

    It’s crazy this was ranked one of their worst episodes.. I looove this episode it’s one of my favorites. It introduced me to the rocky horror picture show

  10. D.... ....

    The girl playing frank n furter is bad ass 💪💪💪

  11. W.... b....

    I can’t believe this is what got me into the rocky horror picture show

  12. M.... L....

    each like is a pray for Cory Montieth..

  13. M.... D....

    Anyway, Transexual is the planet of origin of Frank-N-Furter, not him! Anyone who watched the movie knows it: he's a "sweet transvestite" from the planet Transexual, in the galaxy of Transylvania.

  14. C.... B....

    SANGGGGGGGGG sis SANNNNNNNGGGG

  15. J.... ....

    Is this a good cover of the song? No.
    Is she a good singer? Hell yes!

    J.... ....

    A better singer than the original💋✨

    J.... ....

    Base Benthem yes, she may be a better singer than Tim Curry, but she can’t compare to his Frank, expression and acting, pure art from him.

  16. a.... a....

    You’re not exactly a... transvestite, if you’re just a woman dressed as a.... woman...

  17. M.... D....

    this is a high school production level right? Looks like it. Not sure what Glee is or why Frank is being played by a female?

    M.... D....

    Glee is a tv show. At this particular moment in the show, they don't have enough guys in the team to play Frank, so Mercedes (the girl singing) asked if she could play the role

  18. N.... M....

    Its like everyone who remakes this forgets what a transvestite is.

  19. R.... ....

    This just made the song worse

  20. I.... ....

    The racism has to stop!

  21. A.... J....

    No disrespect to my hero in theater, Tim Curry, but she did amazing! THIS IS HOW ROCKY IS! It's made for ANYONE AND EVERYONE! Pushing the limit, because there isn't one, boo!

  22. d.... b....

    Fucking hell, they chewd up and spat out Rocky Horror.

  23. R.... B....

    What a stupid decision to cover this....no one and I mean NO ONE should perform this other than Tim Curry

  24. S.... H....

    Kurt looks stylish in boots

  25. M.... C....

    And yet they couldn’t afford a bus to sectionals

  26. M.... F....

    Sensational. WTF!!!!!

  27. Y.... G....

    -Antici...pation...

    -P A S I O N!!!!!
    WUUUUH!!!!

  28. J.... L....

    Amber Riley♡oh my god

  29. C.... ....

    AMBER DOES NOT GET ENOUGH CREDIT FOR THIS PERFORMANCE!!!!

  30. c.... t....

    This sucks, its too... Musical-like too singsong

    c.... t....

    It's literally a song from a musical tho

  31. I.... M....

    Glees whole version of rocky horror show is disgusting

  32. C.... L....

    good, but I prefer Tim Curry :D

  33. B.... B....

    Mercedes' vocals are incredible as always. but... I'm not much of girl??? If you're playing a role, you should sing it how it was written. Also, Frank n Furter is a transvestite, a man dressing up as a woman. Those lyrics didn't need to be changed.

  34. J.... C....

    Meh, I prefer Tim Curry

  35. T.... C....

    Rachel's face at 2:01.
    Your welcome

  36. G.... h....

    I thought these were supposed to be teenagers?

  37. e.... s....

    This is my favorite song by amber riley in glee

  38. a.... m....

    1:06 till 1:10 is everything!!!

  39. L.... ....

    Transexual is replaced by Sensational ..... :/

  40. N.... G....

    She killed this 🙌🏾

  41. I.... M....

    She's a goddess

  42. D.... D....

    And now... I'm going to kill myself for watching this shit... Goodbye

  43. A.... K....

    Hate that they change the lyrics... They should have stuck with the original seeing they already use the term Transvestite.

  44. K.... T....

    0:08 Rachel's face lol

  45. H.... B....

    a carnage :'( and even not respecting the original text ,ewwwwwww

  46. b.... ....

    santana in that fit makes me feel things

  47. S.... W....

    This is fucking terrible

  48. P.... S....

    Why are they always trying to give Franks part to women. Doesn't make any sense.

  49. S.... Q....

    Why do I think this is better than the original (no hate)

  50. S.... W....

    BUT NOT THE SYMPTOOOOOOOOMS

  51. A.... H....

    De los mejores capítulos 👌

  52. U.... L....

    ❤❤❤❤

  53. K.... O....

    finns facial expressions always make me laugh

  54. d.... ....

    Great voice, but not the right song to gender swap.

  55. C.... ....

    For a school that bullies all the theatre kids, this school has a very high musical budget.

    C.... ....

    Especially for a play no one can see

    C.... ....

    After seeing this and your comment I wanna watch Glee now!

  56. B.... L....

    Kur is giving me Uncle Fester from the Adams family vibes

  57. F.... F....

    Kurt's face has me so dead.

  58. H.... S....

    300th comment 😋😍

  59. S.... M....

    I wish they would stop putting girls in this role

  60. G.... ....

    The person who is playing Janet is supposed to be blonde not black and the person who is playing as the person tim curry was playing isn't supposed to be overweight and he wasn't wearing a skirt nor did he hold his sentences for five seconds and his voice was high pitched, and moving on to the Russian girl SHE'S NOT RUSSIAN! And to the "handyman" He wasn't smirking every time we saw him nor was Janet cross eyed.

  61. D.... S....

    They are trying to make it sound like she's not trans, BUT SHE'S LITERALLY SAYING THAT'S SHE'S A "SWEET TRANSVESTITE." Really? Either change it all, or let her say the actual lyrics!

  62. V.... P....

    XD hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha 😂🤣🤣🤭 o great piece of shit

  63. B.... S....

    eeerrr do they even know what a transvestite is? or is it she's a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman...yeah that's it.

  64. T.... N....

    She’s not a transvestite tho

  65. A.... D....

    I've literally never watched glee but this rendition is so dope. Of course, Tim Curry's will always be my favorite, but the style she brought to the role was so impressive.

  66. C.... E....

    Who was in charge of vestuary for this? The singer does HER job fantastically, but her clothes do NOT say transvestite properly.

    C.... E....

    Christian Erazo it’s meant to be a high school musical theres only so far they could let the students go with the costumes I’m guessing

    C.... E....

    Jessica Fox but the Rocky Horror Show age rating is 12A for theatres and a 15 for the movie and when Glee started all the kids were roughly 15-16 years old

    C.... E....

    Joseph Lorimer Yes I understand that but there’s a difference between watching the film and getting students to dress in those outfits... in a school... it would be underage indecency and the actors in the film were obviously adult

  67. E.... M....

    EVERYBODY IS LIKE TIM CURRY IS THE BEST BUT CAN WE ALL ADMIT THAT THIS GIRL CAN SING?

  68. D.... C....

    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 candy man

    Don't get strung out by the way that 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 Transexual, Transylvania, ha ha

    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 blond hair and a tan
    And he's good for relieving my tension

    I'm just a sweet transvestite
    From Transexual, Transylvania, ha ha
    Hit it, hit it, I'm just a sweet transvestite (sweet transvestite)
    From Transexual, Transylvania, ha ha

    So, come up to the lab
    And see what's on the slab
    I see you shiver with antici-
    -Pation
    But maybe the rain
    Is really to blame
    So I'll remove the cause
    But not the symptom

  69. L.... C....

    They can say transvestite but not transexual on tv? Wtf? And this show talks about sexuality so much in like every episode. Lol

  70. t.... ....

    Nobody will ever EVER replace Tim Curry ♥️

  71. A.... B....

    All else aside, she's a pretty awesome singer :).

  72. k.... ....

    Before Glee go ridiculous

  73. D.... M....

    Her voice fits the song but she doesn’t convey the energy that the original guy had. It was good tho

  74. H.... b....

    I legitmately do not understand why they cut the word "transsexual" out when in one of the later seasons, one of Sue's lines literally said "a black transsexual named Unique".

  75. T.... W....

    ok this is fuckin garbage

    T.... W....

    Tyler Wedell ever heard of an opinion?

  76. B.... M....

    even though Kurt is playing an old dude he is still cute af

  77. d.... ....

    Still not even one tenth as good as Tim Curry's seminal FranknFurter performance...

  78. b.... ....

    I love this.

  79. l.... o....

    Muito boa ameii

  80. B.... ....

    Better than the original.

  81. �.... ....

    High key better than the original don’t b comin for me

  82. M.... A....

    Gives me goosebumps everytime lol

  83. D.... ....

    She killed it!!!!

  84. S.... _....

    She's good, but this can't beat Tim Curry version.
    Also she's not even a transvestite...

  85. S.... ....

    Wtf?
    She's not even a transvestite...
    She doesn't sing the right lines...
    And this is way too polished man, this is supposed to have the 70s written all over it...

  86. J.... !....

    As amazing as Amber/Mercedes did this, i was really hoping to see Chris (Kurt) do this xD I think it would've been iconic!

  87. K.... ....

    Damn, I wish I could sing like that.

  88. P.... W....

    She did a great job and really killed it. I love this version of the song.

  89. J.... a....

    This makes me mad

  90. C.... C....

    Finn looks like Clark Kent in his Costume 🤣

  91. L.... C....

    What tf is that???!!!

  92. N.... P....

    Well to me amber has a better voice so this is like a great song to listen to, and tim curry's version is better to watch, it was more epic and...groundbreaking when it came out. I appreciate both versions, they're different and good.

  93. I.... t....

    Amber SLAYS this song so hard

  94. k.... ....

    my sexual orientation: mercedes as dr frank n furter

  95. A.... P....

    I don't know what show this is, but my goodness, this lady can sing!

  96. R.... C....

    This is a fucking travesty. Just terrible. This cunt ain't no Tim Curry.

    Who let this happen? They should be dragged into the street and shot in the head.

    OH MY GOD, I kept watching and it keeps getting worse. This is like terrible karaoke.

  97. E.... J....

    I hate when they censor/change the songs. Like if you're going to do it, do it right. It's not Transylvania its transexual Transylvania.
