Look here, mm, 
Strings of my heart baby,
Sing for you, ooh, ooh ooh

Dear when you smiled at me
I heard a melody (yeah)
It haunted me from the start
Something inside of me, (mm) started a symphony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart

Oh oh like a breath of spring
I heard a robin sing, yes I did
All 'Bout a nest in the park, ooh baby
Everyting seemed to be, in perfect harmony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart

Listen to me now,
Lord have mersey,
It's allright 
Suck it to me, mm
Honey, honey it's all right, oohh,

I still recall that thrill
I guess I'll always will
I hope we'll never, ever part

A rapsody devine
Zing! Went the strings of my heart

The Trammps

The Trammps were an American disco and soul band, who were based in Philadelphia and were one of the first disco bands. The band's first major success was with their 1972 cover version of "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart". The first disco track they released was "Love Epidemic" in 1973. However, they are best known for their Grammy winning song, "Disco Inferno", originally released in 1976 becoming a UK pop hit and US R&B hit, then re-released in 1978 and becoming a US pop hit. The music journalist Ron Wynn noted "the Trammps' prowess can't be measured by chart popularity; Ellis' booming, joyous vocals brilliantly championed the celebratory fervor and atmosphere that made disco both loved and hated among music fans." more »
