|
| 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, Mirror)(a news paper, but I’m not sure on the spelling)
|
| 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 could 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. |
