Paperback writer, 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,
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.
