[Verse 1]
[G]Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
It's [G]based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job
So I wanna be a paperback [C]writer
Paperback [G]writer

[Verse 2]
It's a [G]dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand
His [G]son is working for the Daily Mail
It's a steady job
But he wants to be a paperback [C]writer
Paperback [G]writer

[Am](Writer, writer)

[Verse 3]
It's a [G]thousand pages, give or take a few
I'll be writing more in a week or two
I could [G]make it longer if you like the style
I can change it 'round
And I wanna be a paperback [C]writer
Paperback [G]writer

[Verse 4]
If you [G]really like it you can have the rights
It could make a million for you overnight
If you [G]must return it you can send it here
But I need a break
And I a wanna be a paperback [C]writer
Paperback [G]writer
