[Intro]
E
Paperback writer, writer writer,
[Verse]
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
A
I want to be a paperback writer
E
Paperback writer.
[Verse]
It's the dirty story of a dirty man
and his clinging wife
doesn't understand. His son is
working for the daily Mail
A
It's a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer
E
Paperback writer.
[Chorus]
E
Paperback writer, writer writer,
[Verse]
It's a thousand pages give
or take a few, I'll be writing more
in a week or two. I can make
longer if you like the style,
A
I can change it round and I want to be a paperback writer
E
Paperback writer.
[Verse]
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,
A
But I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer
E
Paperback writer.
[Chorus]
E
Paperback writer, writer writer,
[Outro]
Paperback writer. 4x
