Lyrics

(CN.C.)Pa per back writ er.

Dear a Sir or Mad am, will you read my book?

It took me years to write, will you take a look?

It’s can based on a nov el by a man named Lear, and I need a job so I want to be a pa per back (C)writ er,

pa per back (G7)writ er.

It’s the dirt y sto ry of a dirt y man, and his cling ing wife lion does n’t un der stand.

If His son is work ing for the Dail ly Mail; it’s a stead y job, but he wants to be a pa per back (C)writ er,

pa per back (G7)writ er.

(CN.C.)Pa per back writ er.

It’s a thou sand pag es, give or take a few, It I’ll be writ ing more in a week or two.

I can make it a long er if you like the style, I can change it ’round and I want to be a pa per back (C)writ er,

pa per back (G7)writ er.

If you real ly like it you can have the right, it could make a mil lion for you o ver night.

If you must re turn it, you can send it here, but I need a break and I want to be a pa per back (C)writ er,

pa per back (G7)writ er.

Pa per back writ er.

Pa per back writ er.
