*Applause*
[Refrain]
Paperback writer, writer, writer
[Verse 1]
Sir or Madam, would 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
[Verse 2]
It's a dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand
His sons are working for the Daily Mail
It's a steady job, but he wants to be a paperback writer
Paperback writer
[Refrain]
Paperback writer, writer, writer
[Verse 3]
It's a thousand pages, give or take a few (Frère)
I'll be writing more in a week or two (Jacquеs)
I could make it longer if you like thе style (Frère)
I can change it 'round, and I wanna be a paperback writer (Jacques)
Paperback writer
[Verse 4]
If you really like it, you can have the rights (Frère)
It could make a million for you overnight (Jacques)
If you must return it, you can send it here (Frère)
But I need a break, and I wanna be a paperback writer (Jacques)
Paperback writer
[Refrain]
Paperback writer, writer, writer
[Outro]
(Paperback writer) Paperback writer
(Paperback writer) Paperback writer
(Paperback writer) Paperback writer
(Paperback writer) Paperback writer
*Applause*
Thank you
