[Verse 1]
It's very ordinary for the secretary
To take a man away from his wife
Girls, we make it necessary for the secretary
To put a little joy in his life
[Verse 2]
She takes the time to listen
To what he has to say
While all you do is nag him
A thousand times a day
[Verse 3]
Her hair is always pretty
And her clothes are always stylish
But you greet him with your hair in rollers
And that's outdated and so childish
[Verse 4]
Oh, it's very ordinary for the secretary
To take a man away from his wife
Why make it necessary for the secretary
To put a little joy in his life?
[Verse 5]
Are you there when he needs you?
Are your favors less than cute?
And when he tries to love you
Do you find something else to do?
[Verse 6]
Now the ordinary girl may not wear pearls
Or diamonds on each hand
Oh, but like the secretary, woo
She knows how to please her man
[Verse 7]
Oh, it's not extraordinary for the secretary
To take a man away from his wife
You see, we make it necessary for the secretary
To put a little joy in his life, hey, hey
[Verse 8]
You see, life's a bowl of cherries
For all the secretaries, hey, hey
[Verse 9]
Oh, it's very ordinary, it's not extraordinary
Girls, don't be contrary or you'll make it necessary
Your life can be so merry
Just like the secretary
Life's a bowl of cherries
