Paperback Writer Lyrics

Lennon/McCartney

Recorded live 15 June 1993 at the Blockbuster Pavilion, Charlotte, North Carolina

PAPERBACK WRITER,
PAPERBACK WRITER.

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 AND I WANNA BE A
PAPERBACK WRITER,
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,
PAPERBACK WRITER.

PAPERBACK WRITER,
PAPERBACK WRITER.

OW!

IT'S A THOUSAND PAGES, GIVE OR TAKE A FEW;

PAPERBACK WRITER,

IF YOU REALLY LIKE IT YOU CAN HAVE THE RIGHTS,

(Frere----------------)
BUT I NEED A BREAK AND I WANNA BE A
