Lyrics Paul McCartney – Temporary Secretary
Text:
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
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 doin’ 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
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 secretary, temporary secretary
Temporary secretary I need a
Temporary secretary. Temporary secretary
Temporary secretary
