Intro:
What a drag it is getting old
Riff: x2
Play on high string: ---0--2--2/3----3--2--0--
Verse:
"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
Break:
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
Riff: x2
Play on high string: ---0--2--2/3----3--2--0--
Verse:
"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
Break:
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
Chorus:
Doctor please
Some more of these
Outside the door
She took four more
What a drag it is getting old
Riff:
Play on high string: ---0--2--2/3----3--2--0--
Verse:
"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 tranquilise your mind
Break:
So go running for the shelter
Of a mother`s little helper
And for to help you through the night
Help to minimise your plight
Chorus:
Doctor please
Some more of these
Outside the door
She took four more
What a drag it is getting old
Verse:
"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
Break:
No more running to the shelter
Of a mother`s little helper
They just helped you on your way
Through your busy dying day
