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
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
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
