Lyrics

Paperback writer

Paper back writer (paperback writer)
Dear sir or madam, did you read my book?
It took me years to write, would 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 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 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 can make it longer if you like the style
I can change it round but 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
