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 hey
