Mother's Little Helper

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!
