TEMPORARY SECRETARY
By Paul McCartney
 
Mister Marks, can you find for me
Someone strong and sweet, [bad word] 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's 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.
 
Mister Marks, I can pay her well
If [bad word] 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.
 
She can be a belly dancer, I don't need a need romancer,
She can be a diplomat, but I don't need a girl like that,
She can be a neurosurgeon if she's doin' nothing urgent,
What I need's a temporary, 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 ev'rything to stay on the right track".
 
Temporary, hoo, secretary, ooh,
I need a temporary secretaire, ooh,
Temporary, hoo, secretary, ooh,
Temporary secretaire, ooh
I need a temporary, ooh, secretary, ooh,
Temporary secretary, ooh,
Oh, temporary, ooh, secretary.
