Why Don't You Read The Book

Don¡¯t talk to the pilot
When he¡¯s flyin¡¯
Don¡¯t smile at the soldier
He¡¯s on parade
Don¡¯t come creeping round, you¡¯ll
Catch me cryin¡¯
No more talkin¡¯ ¡®bout it
It¡¯s all been said
You drawn such a fine line baby
Learnin¡¯ all the rules
Why don¡¯t ya read between them sometimes
You won¡¯t look such a fool
Why don¡¯t you read the book, why don¡¯t you read the book
Why don¡¯t you read the book, why don¡¯t you read the book
Why show all your aces
To the gambler
If he calls your hand
You¡¯re gonna lose
Don¡¯t trust first impressions
Of a stranger
Private information¡¯s
Just tellin¡¯ tales
* You draw such a fine line baby
Learnin¡¯ all the rules
Why don¡¯t ya read between them sometimes
You won¡¯t look such a fool
** Why don¡¯t you read the book, why don¡¯t you read the book
Why don¡¯t you read the book, why don¡¯t you read the book
repeat *
repeat **
