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 a 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 a husband's
Just a drag
So she buys an instant cake
And she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter
Of a 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
