Lyrics

Columnette writer

I've got fingers typing, and I'm back in shape
This took me 15 minutes on my coffee break
It's based on a column that I read last week
I've got 14 jobs, but I still wanna be a columnette writer

Columnette writer

From the Old Grey Lady down to Washington
Spent my writing life chasing Benjamins
My reputation wasn't all that bad
It's a sad demise but I'll settle for a columnette writer
Columnette writer

Columnette writer

Parody of "Paperback Writer" by them Beatles

    Brilliant. I typically listen to TK at 1.5x, but I always play the jingles at regular speed. Maybe I'll even submit my own song one day.

    As you can tell, Patrick, I didn't worry too much about making it sound right! Well, a little.

    It was months ago Jerry and all I had was a title and a line or 2. The harmonies were so far out of my league I gave up after a few tries.

    Yepp. Had this on a to-do list somewhere but never worked it out. This version will do quite nicely!

    This is so funny Brad, about 3-4 months ago I sent Jerry an idea for this song with the exact same title, I just could not make it sound right. Well done!
