"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 song is performed by the character, Dr Frank N. Furter, originally played by Tim Curry. 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 Dr Frank N. Furter's entrance.[citation needed]
