Mother’s Little Helper

what a drag it is getting old.

« Kids are different today, » I hear every mother say 

Mother needs something today to calm her down 

And though she’s not really ill, there’s a little yellow pill 

She goes running for the shelter of her mother’s little helper 

And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day 

 

« Things are different today, » I hear every mother say 

Cooking fresh food for her husband’s just a drag 

So she buys an instant cake, and she burns a frozen steak 

And goes running for the shelter of her mother’s little helper 

And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day 

 

Doctor, please, some more of these 

Outside the door, she took four more 

What a drag it is getting old 

 

« Men just aren’t the same today, » I hear every mother say 

They just don’t appreciate that you get tired 

They’re so hard to satisfy, you can tranquilize your mind 

So go running for the shelter of a mother’s little helper 

And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight 

 

Doctor, please, some more of these 

Outside the door, she took four more 

What a drag it is getting old 

 

« Life’s just much too hard today, » I hear every mother say 

The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore 

And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose 

No more running for the shelter of a mother’s little helper 

They just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day 

Hey
