Rolling Stones - Mothers Little Helper
(Jagger/Richards)
What a drag it is getting old
"Kids are different today"
I hear evry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though shes not really ill
Theres a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mothers little helper
And it helps her on her way
Gets her through her busy day
"Things are different today"
I hear evry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husbands just a drag
So she buys an instant cake
And she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of a mothers 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 arent the same today"
I hear evry mother say
They just dont appreciate that you get tired
Theyre so hard to satisfy
You can tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter of a mothers 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
"Lifes just much too hard today"
I hear evry 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 mothers little helper
They just helped you on your way
Through your busy dying day
END
