Donâ??t talk to the pilot
When heâ??s flyinâ??
Donâ??t smile at the soldier
Heâ??s on parade
Donâ??t come creeping round, youâ??ll
Catch me cryinâ??
No more talkinâ?? â??bout it
Itâ??s all been said
You drawn such a fine line baby
Learninâ?? all the rules
Why donâ??t ya read between them sometimes
You wonâ??t look such a fool
Why donâ??t you read the book, why donâ??t you read the book
Why donâ??t you read the book, why donâ??t you read the book
Why show all your aces
To the gambler
If he calls your hand
Youâ??re gonna lose
Donâ??t trust first impressions
Of a stranger
Private informationâ??s
Just tellinâ?? tales
* You draw such a fine line baby
Learninâ?? all the rules
Why donâ??t ya read between them sometimes
You wonâ??t look such a fool
** Why donâ??t you read the book, why donâ??t you read the book
Why donâ??t you read the book, why donâ??t you read the book
repeat *
repeat **
