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 **. . (written and arranged by Nazareth). copyright 1983 Fool Circle Limited.
