[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary

[Verse 2]
Mister Marks, could you send her quick?
'Cause my regular has been getting sick
I need a

[Chorus]
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary

[Verse 4]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary
Temporary secretary

Paul McCartney

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
