Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the music video of The Beatles performing 'Paperback Writer' in honor of the fact that on June 25, 1966 - The Beatles started a two week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Paperback Writer', the group's 12th US No.1.

'Paperback Writer' written by John Winston Lennon / Paul James McCartney
Lyrics
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 wanna 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 wanna 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 wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer
Paperback writer (paperback writer)
Paperback writer (paperback writer)
Paperback writer (paperback writer)
Paperback writer (paperback writer)
Paperback writer (paperback writer)"

One classic Beatles song from 1966 inspires me to post a few more

"Rain" the B side of the "Paperback Writer" vinyl 45 rpm is a good Beatles' track
in my vinyl collection.

"When did Paperback Writer by Paul McCartney come out?"
"Paperback writer! Paperback writer! This song was released in 1966, and its creation was spawned when McCartney was requested to “not make a song about love.” The primary inspiration came from Macca finding Ringo reading a book, he took one look and announced that he would write a song about a book."
