| Paperback Writer (Lennon/McCartney) 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. 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 Herb Pedersen Southwest |
