Dont talk to the pilot
When hes flyin
Dont smile at the soldier
Hes on parade

Dont come creeping round, youll
Catch me cryin
No more talkin bout it
Its all been said

You drawn such a fine line baby
Learnin all the rules
Why dont ya read between them sometimes
You wont look such a fool

Why dont you read the book, why dont you read the book
Why dont you read the book, why dont you read the book

Why show all your aces
To the gambler
If he calls your hand
Youre gonna lose
Dont trust first impressions
Of a stranger
Private informations
Just tellin tales

* You draw such a fine line baby
Learnin all the rules
Why dont ya read between them sometimes
You wont look such a fool

** Why dont you read the book, why dont you read the book
Why dont you read the book, why dont you read the book

repeat *

repeat **
