Mother's Little Helper (Remastered / Mono)

What a drag it is getting old

"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
