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 **
