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 »

Well well, it's alright, it's alright
Hold it girl, squeeze it girl
It's alright, shucks

[Chorus]
Hold back the night, turn on the lights
Don't want to dream (dream about you baby)
Come on (hold back the night) hold it
(Turn on the lights, don't want to dream)
Oh no no no no no no-no (dream about you baby)

When you left
You took the sun right out of the sky
I'm wondering why you went away
Never told me huh, told me why
And then the sun goes down and the moon is clear
Scared to death 'cause your face appears
Come on

[Chorus]

Loneliness is haunting me when I go to bed honey
Like a character in a book, in a book that I read
Now when the sun goes down the moon is clear
Scared to death
'Cause your face I've missed you know

Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it
Well well well well well well well well baby
It's alright
Hold it girl, squeeze it girl, it's alright oh

Nighttime is the right time for loving you
Loving, for loving you
Baby baby lady baby

Why don't you just hold it my love, yeah
You know I need it my love

Hold me, squeeze me, just love me, just squeeze me
It's alright talkin' about day or night
Talkin' about it's alright, oh yeah
Nighttime is the right time for loving you
Loving you, for loving you
Baby baby lady baby
Bib-bib-bib-brr-lib-idy-dib-bib 
Bib-baby it's alright
(Hold back the night, turn on the lights)
(Don't want to dream, dream about you baby)
Well well well well well well well well baby
It's alright
Hold it girl, squeeze it girl, it's alright oh
