Nazareth - Why Don't You Read The Book lyrics

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

repeat *

repeat **
