Five Oclock Whistle

Fools Rush In

Artist: Frank Sinatra w/Tommy Dorsey Orchestra—from the CD “Tommy Dorsey

and Frank Sinatra-Stardust” (Bluebird 61073-2)

Words and Music by Johnny Mercer and Rube Bloom


(Instrumental opening—one full verse)

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread

And so I come to you, my love, my heart above my head

Though I see the danger there

If there’s a chance for me then I don’t care

Fools rush in where wise men never go

But wise men never fall in love so how are they to know

When we met I felt my life begin

So open up your heart and let this fool rush in

(Instrumental close--one full verse)
