Lyrics:

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


Don't get strung up
By the way I look
Don't judge a book by it's 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 a sweet transvestite 
From transexual 
Trasylvannia


Let me show you around, and maybe
Play you a sound
You look like you both, pretty groovy
Or if you want something visual
That's not to abyssimal
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 (right)
We'll just say where we are, then go back to the car
We don't want to be any worry

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 
From transexual
Transylvannia

Why don't you
Stay for the night? (Night)
Only be a bite (Bite)
I could show you my favorite
Obsession
I've been makin' a man
With blond hair and a tan
And he's good for relievin' my
Tension

I'm just a sweet transvestite 
From transexual
Transylvannia
Hit it, hit it!
I'm just a sweet transvestite 
From transexual
Transylvannia

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
