 F#m    C#                 F#m C#
Mister Marks, can you find for me
               F#m  C#               F#m C#
Someone strong and sweet, fitting on my knee
             F#m  C#             F#m  C#
She can keep her job if she gets it wrong
           F#m  C#                 F#m  C#
Ah, but Mister Marks, I won't need her long
           F#m C#           F#m   C#
All I need is help for a little while
            F#m C#             F#m  C#
We can take dictation and learn to smile
         F#m C#     F#m C#        F#m C#
And a tempor-ary secret-ary's what I need for
      F#m  C#
to do the job

Chorus:
          D    C#  D     C#    D    C#   D   C#   C#
I need a temporary secretary, temporary secretaire
  D   C#   D    C#    D    C#   D    C#   C#
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary

Mister Marks, could you send her quick
'Cause my regular has been getting sick

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
        D C# D C#
I need a

D
She can be a belly dancer,
I don't need a true romancer
D#
She can be a diplomat, but
I don't need a girl like that
E
She can be a neurosurgeon if
she's doing nothing urgent
F
What I need's a temporary, temporary secretary

Chorus:
I need a, I need a temporary secretary,
temporary secretary
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary
Temporary secretary, temporary secretaire

Now, Mister Marks, when I send her back
Will you please make sure she stays on
the right track

C
"Well, I know how hard it is for young
girls these days
       C#
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

Chorus:
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary
