Lyrics

Lennon/mccartney

Paperback writer
Dear sir or madam will you read my book
It took me years to write, will you take a look
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 the 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 want to be a 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 can 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 if 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
