=====================================

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