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 shes not really ill, theres a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mothers 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 husbands just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of a mothers 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 arent the same today,' I hear every mother say
They just dont appreciate that you get tired
Theyre so hard to satisfy, you can tranquilize your mind
So, go running for the shelter of a mothers 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
'Lifes 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 mothers little helper
They just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day
