Mother's Little Helper Lyrics

What a drag, it is getting old

"Kids are different today", I hear every mother say
You just need 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 two gets 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 such 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 gets her on her way
Gets her through her busy day

Oh, 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

And go running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And four gets her through the night
Helps to minimize her plight

Oh, Doctor, please
Some more of these
Outside the door
She took four more

What a drag, it is getting old

"You just aren't the same today", I hear every mother say
Your pursuit of happiness is such a bore
If you take some more of those
You will get an overdose

No more running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And four gets her on her way

Hey!
