The Beatles - Paperback Writer lyrics
[The Beatles - Paperback Writer lyrics]
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 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 paperback writer
(Paperback writer, paperback writer)
It's a thousand pages, give or take a few
(Frère)
I'll be writing more in a week or two
(Jacques)
I could make it longer if you like the style
(Frère) i can change it around and I
Want to be a paperback writer (Jacques)
Paperback writer
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 want to be a paperback writer
(Jacques) paperback writer
Paperback writer
(Paperback writer, paperback writer)
Paperback writer, paperback writer
Paperback writer, paperback writer
Paperback writer, paperback writer
Paperback writer, paperback writer
