Dear Sir or Madam,
will 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
want to be a 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
It's a thousand pages, give or take a few
I'll be writing more in a week or two
I can make it longer if you like the
style
I can change it
'round and I want to be a
paperback writer
If you really like
it you can have the rights
It could make a
milion for you overnight
If you must return
it you can send it here
But I need a break
and I want to be a paperback
writer
