Dear sir or madam did you see my book?
It's got a different cover and a different look.
It makes the reading more enjoyable.
And it's fun to do, so I wanna be a paperback binder, paperback binder!

It's a job that I would really love to do.
It takes a paper mallet and a scissors, too.
It involves some folding and a special glue.
It's a special job; Oh, how I wanna be a paperback binder, paperback binder!

If you need somebody, I'm the one who's right.
For this job I'd even come to work at night.
If you must get rid of me I'll understand.
But I need the opportunity to be a paperback binder, paperback binder!

It's the job I've wanted to have all my life.
I have support from both my children and my wife.
If my getting this job means I'll have to move
Then I'll have to go 'cause I've gotta be a paperback binder, paperback binder!
