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
