Paperback Writer Lyrics - Souvenir - Eric Johnson

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 the 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
