text: Paperback writer 
  Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
  It took me years to write, will you take a look?
  Its based on a novel by a man named Lear
  And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer
  Paperback writer!
  Its a dirty story of a dirty man
  And his clinging wife doesnt understand
  His son is working for the Daily Mail
  Its a steady job, but he wants to be a paperback writer
  Paperback writer!
  Paperback writer 
  Its a thousand pages, give or take a few 
  Ill 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 
  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 
  Paperback writer, paperback writer
