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
