Lyric 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 **
