Paperback Writer

Paperback writerDear 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 wanna be a paperback writer

Paperback writerIt'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 writerIt's a thousand pages, give or take a few

I'll be writing more in a week or two

I can make it longer if you like the style

I can change it 'round and I wanna be a paperback writer

Paperback writerIf you really like it you can help me write

It can make a million for you overnight

If you must return it you can send it here

But I need a break and I wanna be a paperback writer
