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 |
|
|
|
|

dududu dududu |
|
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 |
|
|
|

|
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 |
