Paperback writer, paperback writer.
Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear,
And I need a job,
So I want to be a paperback writer, Paperback writer.
It's a dirty story of a dirty man, and his clinging wife doesn't understand.
His son is working for the Daily Mail. It's a steady job,
But he wants to be a paperback writer, Paperback writer.
Paperback writer, paperback writer.
It's a thousand pages, give or take a few. I'll be writing more
in a week or two.
I could make it longer if you like the style. I can change it 'round,
And I want to be a paperback writer, Paperback writer.
If you really like it you can have the rights. It could make a million
for you overnight.
If you must return it you can send it here, but I need a break,
And I want to be a paperback writer, Paperback writer.
Paperback writer, paperback writer.
Paperback writer, paperback writer.
Paperback writer, paperback writer.
Paperback writer, paperback writer.
Paperback writer...
