Why Don`t You Read The Book Lyrics

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 **
