The following is best experienced while playing this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHglEvMMaLU in the background. The bold among you will actually sing along. So click here first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHglEvMMaLU and then, while hearing the left column, sing along with me with modified lyrics from the right column.
Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book? Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my blog?
It took me years to write, will you take a look? It took three weeks to write, will you take a look?
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear It's based on my dreams all are very clear
And I need a job I gave up my job
So I wanna be a paperback writer So I wanna be a silverback writer
Paperback writer Silverback writer
It's a dirty story of a dirty man It's a ramblin' story of a restless man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand And his brilliant wife with a jewelry stand
His son is working for the Daily Mail His son is working for ILGA
It's a steady job It's a heavy job
But he wants to be a paperback writer But he wants to be a silverback writer
Paperback writer Silverback writer
Paperback writer (paperback writer) Silverback writer (silverback writer)
It's a thousand pages, give or take a few Couple dozen entries, give or take a few
I'll be writing more in a week or two I'm done writing now for a year or two
I could make it longer if you like the style I could unsubscribe you if you've had enough
I can change it 'round I have shut it down
And I wanna be a paperback writer But I wanna be a silverback writer
Paperback writer Silverback writer
If you really like it you can have the rights If you really liked it I will sell the rights
It could make a million for you overnight It could make a hundred for you overnight
If you must return it you can send it here But you mustn't spurn it you can leave it here
But I need a break I now take a break
And I wanna be a paperback writer But I wanna be a Paperback Writer
Paperback writer Was a nail biter
Paperback writer (paperback writer) Daily Grind Smiter
Paperback writer (paperback writer) Couple Pounds Lighter
Paperback writer (paperback writer) Silverback Sighter
Paperback writer (paperback writer) Bank Account Tighter
Paperback writer (paperback writer) Travelblog Writer
With apologies to the other Paul. I'm home safe. WIth my lady. Will never think about travel in the same way again.
Final thought: gorillas are a lot nicer than a lot of people I know.
That's all folks!
