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 Tranquilise Your Mind

So Go Running For The Shelter Of A Mother's Little Helper

And Four Help You Through The Night, Help To Minimise Your Plight.



Doctor,plese, 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.
