[Verse 1: Paul McCartney, Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison]
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
Paperback writer

[Verse 2: Paul McCartney, Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison]
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

[Chorus: Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison]

[Verse 3: Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison & All]
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 'round and I want to be a paperback writer (Jacques)
