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 to the shelter of a mother's little helper |
|
They just helped you on your way through your busy dying day. |
