What a drag it is gettin' old!
"Kids are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say,
"Mother needs somethin' today
To calm her down."
And though she's not really ill,
There's a little yellow pill.
She goes runnin' 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 ev'ry mother say,
"Cookin' fresh food for
A husband's just a drag."
So, she buys an instant cake,
And she burns a frozen steak.
And goes runnin' 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 gettin' old.
"Men just aren't the same today"
I hear ev'ry mother say.
"They just don't appreciate
That you get tired.
They're so hard to satisfy,"
You can tranquilize your mind.
So, go runnin' 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 gettin' old.
"Life's just much too hard today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say,
"The pusuit of happiness
Just seems a bore."
And if you take more of those,
You will get an overdose
No more runnin' for the shelter,
Of a mother's little helper.
They just helped you on your way,
Through your busy dyin' day.
