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, So I want to 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. It's a thousand pages, give or take a few. I'll be writing more in a week or two. I could 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, paperback writer. Paperback writer, paperback writer. Paperback writer...

If the rain comes They run and hide their heads They might as well be dead If the rain comes If the rain comes When the sun shines They slip into the shade (When the sun shines down) And sip their lemonade (When the sun shines down) When the sun shines When the sun shines Rain, I don't mind Shine, the weather's fine I can show you That when it starts to rain (When the rain comes down) Everything's the same (When the rain comes down) I can show you I can show you Rain, I don't mind Shine, the weather's fine Can you hear me? That when it rains and shines (When it rains and shines) It's just a state of mind (When it rains and shines) Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Sdeah reiht edih dna nur yeht Semoc niar eht fi (Rain) Niar (Rain) Senihs nus
