Dear LIB or TECH1, will you read my book?

It's just a few months late, will you take a look?

Based on a system known as LMS,
                                               C
And I need a job, so I want to be a Technical Writer,
           G7
Technical Writer.

It's a bit confusing, but it's mostly right
I've been working on it every day and night
Describes our version 6.2 or 3
And I need a job, so I want to be a Technical Writer,
Technical Writer.

Technical Writer,  Technical Writer.

It's a thousand pages, give or take a few
And they'll obsolete it in a week or two
The next installment will be twice as big
Cause I need a job, and I want to be a Technical Writer,
Technical Writer.

If you think it's awful or it isn't right,
Pretend it's just a tiny oversight,
Please don't complain to the management,
Cause I need a job, and I want to be a Technical Writer,
Technical Writer.

Technical Writer,  Technical Writer.
