}} "Sweet Transvestite" is a song from the 1973 British musical stage production The Rocky Horror Show and its 1975 film counterpart The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The book, music and lyrics are by Richard O'Brien and the musical arrangements by Richard Hartley. It is in the key of E major. It was originally the fourth song in the musical but it was later switched with its following number, "Time Warp", so that the latter came before Tim Curry's entrance.{{citation needed|date=September 2018}} OverviewThe song is performed by the character, Dr. Frank N.
