D ear 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 b e 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 pap erback writer

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 p aperback writer
