dirty story of a dirty man

 

Dear 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 wanna 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

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 could make it longer if you like the style

I can change it 'round

And I wanna 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 wanna be a paperback writer

Paperback writer

Paperback writer (paperback writer)

Paperback writer (paperback writer)

Paperback writer (paperback writer)

Paperback writer (paperback writer)

Paperback writer (paperback writer)...[fade out]
