Temporary Secretary

(album: McCartney II - 1980)

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 secretary
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 doing nothing 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 secretary

Now, Mister Marks, when I send her back
Will you please make sure she stays on the right track?
Well, I know how hard it is for young girls these days
In the face of everything, to stay on the right track

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 doing nothing urgent
What I need's a temporary, temporary secretary

Temporary secretary, (I need a) temporary secretary
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary
(I need a) Temporary secretary, temporary secretary (Oh)
Temporary secretary
