Mother's Little Helper

What a drag it is getting old

Kids are different today

I hear ev'ry mother say

Mother needs something today to calm her down

And though she's not really I'll

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

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 helps 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

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

Life's just much too hard today

The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore

And if you take more of those

You will get an overdose

No more running to the shelter of a mother's little helper

They just helped you on your way

Through your busy dying day
