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

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
