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 feeling 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 meat for her 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 to help her on her way to get her through her busy day

Dr please more of these outside the door she took for more

What a drag it is getting old

Men just aren't the same today I hear every mother say they 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 for help you through the night help to minimize your plight

Doctor please some more of these outside the door she took for more what a drag it is getting old

life 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 mother's little helper they just helped you on your way get you through your dying day
