I (Thomas Thunder) am playing the upright electric bass in this performance accompanying performance musicians from School of Rock Seekonk. I contributed the chord chart for this song, for all of the string instruments.
This live performance took place on January 14, 2024 at The Myrtle in Providence, Rhode Island.
This song was written by Hans Lang and Bert Reisfeld in 1951, and was originally performed by American singer Betty Hutton. Bjork covered this song on her 1995 album Post.

This version sung by Dani Calderon of School of Rock Seekonk.
Lyrics:
Shhhh, Shhhh
It's, oh, so quiet
Shhhh Shhhh
It's, oh, so still
Shhhh Shhhh
You're all alone
Shhh Shhh
And so peaceful until...
You fall in love
Zing boom
The sky up above
Zing boom
Is caving in
Wow bam
You've never been so nuts about a guy
You wanna laugh you wanna cry
You cross your heart and hope to die
'Til it's over and then...
Shhhh, Shhhh
It's nice and quiet
Shhhh, Shhhh
But soon again
Shhhh, Shhhh
Starts another big riot
You blow a fuse
Zing boom
The devil cuts loose
Zing boom
So what's the use
Wow bam
Of falling in love?
It's, oh, so quiet
It's, oh, so still
You're all alone
And so peaceful until...
You ring the bell
Bim bam
You shout and you yell
Hi ho ho
You broke the spell
Gee, this is swell you almost have a fit
This guy is "gorge" and I got hit
There's no mistake this is it
'Til it's over and then...
It's nice and quiet
Shhhh Shhhh
But soon again
Shhhh Shhhh
Starts another big riot
You blow a fuse
Zing boom
The devil cuts loose
Zing boom
So What's the use
Wow bam
Of falling in love?
The sky caves in
The devil cuts loose
You blow blow blow blow blow your fuse
Aaaaah!
When you fall in love...
Ssshhhhhh...
