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 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 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 Pusuit 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
