Paperback Writer - The Beatles (1966)

Paperback writer, paperback writer.

Dear Sir or Madam will you read my book,

It took me years to write will you take a look,

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,

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,

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...
