why don t you read the book

Nazareth

Donââ?¬â?¢t talk to the pilot
When heââ?¬â?¢s flyinââ?¬â?¢
Donââ?¬â?¢t smile at the soldier
Heââ?¬â?¢s on parade

Donââ?¬â?¢t come creeping round, youââ?¬â?¢ll
Catch me cryinââ?¬â?¢
No more talkinââ?¬â?¢ ââ?¬Ë?bout it
Itââ?¬â?¢s all been said

You drawn such a fine line baby
Learninââ?¬â?¢ all the rules
Why donââ?¬â?¢t ya read between them sometimes
You wonââ?¬â?¢t look such a fool

Why donââ?¬â?¢t you read the book, why donââ?¬â?¢t you read the book
Why donââ?¬â?¢t you read the book, why donââ?¬â?¢t you read the book

Why show all your aces
To the gambler
If he calls your hand
Youââ?¬â?¢re gonna lose
Donââ?¬â?¢t trust first impressions
Of a stranger
Private informationââ?¬â?¢s
Just tellinââ?¬â?¢ tales

* You draw such a fine line baby
Learninââ?¬â?¢ all the rules
Why donââ?¬â?¢t ya read between them sometimes
You wonââ?¬â?¢t look such a fool

** Why donââ?¬â?¢t you read the book, why donââ?¬â?¢t you read the book
Why donââ?¬â?¢t you read the book, why donââ?¬â?¢t you read the book

repeat *

repeat **
