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 store 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.

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,
Paperback writer.
Paperback writer.
