Paperback writer.

and his clinging wife doesn't understand

it's a steady job but he wants to be a

paperback writer.

Paperback writer.

 

If you really like it you can have the rights

it could make a million 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

paperback writer.
