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.
