(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

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 it, you can send it here
But I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer
