Temporary Secretary is a song by Paul McCartney, featured on his McCartney II album (1980).

Along with the ten-minute Secret Friend as it's B-side, it was released as a UK only 12" single. A 7" Single exists only as a demo for radio stations. It exemplifies both the whimsical nature of the album and McCartney's use of synthesizers and other electronics in the creation of the album. Music website Allmusic.com said of the album, McCartney II:

In retrospect, the record is muddled and confused, nowhere more so than on the frazzled sequencing of "Temporary Secretary," where McCartney spits out ridiculous lyrics with a self-consciously atonal melody over gurgling synths. Things rarely get worse than that [on the album].[1]
