Lyrics for Paperback Writer
Paperback writer (paperback writer, 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, writer) It's a thousand pages, give or take a few (Frère Jacques) I'll be writing more in a week or two I could make it longer if you like the style (Frère Jacques) 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 (Frère Jacques) It could make a million for you overnight If you must return it, you can send it here (Frère Jacques) But I need a break, and I want to be a paperback writer Paperback writer Paperback writer (paperback writer, writer) (Paperback writer) paperback writer (Paperback writer) paperback writer (Paperback writer) paperback writer (Paperback writer) paperback writer
