Temporary Secretary

PAUL McCARTNEY

Lyrics

Mister Marks can you find for me
Someone strong and sweet fitting on my knee
She can keep her job if she gets it wrong 
Ah, but Mister Marks I won't need her long
All I need is help for a little while
We can take dictation and learn to smile
And a temporary secretary is what I need for to do the job 

I need a 
Temporary secretary, temporary secretaire
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary

Mister Marks could you send her quick 
'Cause my regular has been getting sick 

I need a 
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary

Mister Marks I can pay her well 
If she comes along and can stay a spell
I will promise now that I'll treat her right
And will rarely keep her 'til late at night

I need a…

She can be a belly dancer
I don't need a true romancer
She can be a diplomat
But I don't need a girl like that
She can be a neurosurgeon 
If she's doin' nothin’ urgent, 
What I need's a temporary, temporary secretary 
I need a, I need a 
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary 
Temporary secretary, temporary secretaire

Now Mister Marks when I send her back 
Will you please make sure she stays on the right track

SPOKEN: 
Well, I know how hard it is for young girls these days 
in the face of everything to stay on the right track

What I need's a temporary, temporary secretary 
Temporary secretary
I need a 
Temporary secretaire, temporary secretary,
Temporary secretary
I need a 
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary,
Temporary secretary,
