| And his clinging wife doesn't understand. |

| CIt'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, |
| F |
| I can change it round and I want to be a paperback | Fwriter, |
| C |
| CIf 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 |
| F |
| But I need a break and I want to be a paperback | Fwriter, |
| F | C | C7sus4 |
