Kids are different today I hear ev'ry 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 ev'ry 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 two helps 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 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 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 ev'ry 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 to the shelter Of a mother's little helper They just helped you on your way Through your busy dying day
