Of course we all know this song by Björk …

Björk – It’s Oh So Quiet

But it’s actually a cover of …

Betty Hutton – It’s Oh So Quiet (1951)

A version I like much more to be honest.

Lyrics

Here are the lyrics:

Shh! Shh!
It’s oh so quiet.
Shh! Shh!
It’s oh so still.
Shh! Shh!
You’re all alone.
Shh! Shh!
And so peaceful until

You fall in love!
Zing boom!
The sky up above
Zing boom!
Is caving in!
Wham bam!
You’ve never been so nuts about a guy.
You want to laugh, you want to cry.
You cross your heart and hope to die.

It’s over and then
Shh! Shh!
It’s nice and quiet.
Shh! Shh!
But soon again
Shh! Shh!
Starts another big riot.

You blow a fuse.
Zing boom!
The devil cuts loose.
Wham bam!
So what’s the use
Wham bam!
Of falling in love?

Shh! Shh!
It’s oh so quiet.
Shh! Shh!
It’s oh so still.
Shh! Shh!
You’re all alone.
Shh! Shh!
And so peaceful until

You ring the bell
Bim bam!
You shout and you yell:
Oh oh!
You broke the spell.
Gee this is swell,
You almost have a fit.
This guy is George and I got hit.
There’s no mistake
Cause this is it!

Till it’s over and then
Shh! Shh!
It’s nice and quiet.
Shh! Shh!
But soon again
Shh! Shh!
Starts another big riot.

You blow a fuse.
Zing boom!
The devil cuts loose.
Wham bam!
So what’s the use
Wham bam!
Of falling in love?

The sky caves in.
The devil cuts loose.
You blow blow blow blow your fuse,
When you’ve fallen in love!
Shh! Shh!
