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 till late at night
I need a
She can be a belly dancer
I don't need a need a true romance
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?
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 need a true romance
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
Temporary secretary
I need a temporary secretary
Temporary secretary
Temporary secretary
I need a temporary secretary
Temporary secretary
Temporary secretary
