How come Ceo's never have songs like this?

The Beatles
Paperback Writer

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book
It took me years to write, will you take a look
Based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.

It's the 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

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,
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.

Paperback writer

Paperback writer - paperback writer
Paperback writer - paperback writer


(psssst...I send these Beatles lyrics out everytime with my cover letter for my book. I'm hoping to land a middle-aged Cosmopolitan sexy inky-legged female editor who harbored a George Harrison fetish in fifth grade...who knows. Maybe someday. My first self-publishing foray was called MLFPUBHOUSE-read it when your Daddy's not home......who knows....maybe my next belletristic foray will be called Madame Mara Press--but that sounds just a tad bit like a Buddhist Brothel..........................)
