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 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 ev'ry 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 ev'ry mother say

They just don't appreciate that you get tired

They're so hard to satisfy

You can tranquilise your mind

So go running for the shelter

Of a mother's little helper

And for help you through the night

Help to minimise 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 ev'ry 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 to the shelter

Of a mother's little helper

They just helped you on your way

Through your busy dying day
