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 stedy job, but he want 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 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,
