Mother's Little Helper

What a drag it is, getting old "It's so different today", I hear every mother say They just need something today, for confidence And though she's not really ill, there's a little yellow pill She goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper And the helpers are all away, it's a blue and busy day "Things are different today", I hear every mother say Couldn't crash before her husband, such a drag So she buys a risen cake and she burns a frozen steak And goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper And two helper are all away, it's a blue and busy day Oh doctor, please,some more of these, outside the door she took for more What a drag it is, getting old When you stop and save today, I hear every mother say They just don't appreciate that you've retired They're so hard to satisfy, lookin' tranquil at your mind And goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper And forgets her through the night, helps to minimize her flight Oh doctor, please,some more of these, outside the door she took for 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 some more of those, you will get an overdose You'll go running for the shelter of your mother's little helper They just helped you on your way through your busy dying day
