Please, sir or madam, can 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 Near

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 acres, will you 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, but I want to be a paperback writer,



Paperback writer!



If you really like it, you can have the right

You can make a million almost overnight

If you must pretend, you can send it in

But I need a break, and I want to be a paperback writer,



Paperback writer!
