Lyrics

[Intro]
Paperback writer
Paperback writer (Paperback writer)
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Bridge]
