VERSE:
"Kids are different today,"
I hear every mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down 
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pill
BREAK:
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

VERSE:
"Things are different today,"
I hear every mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag 
So she buys an instant cake
And she burns her frozen steak
BREAK:
And goes running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And two help her on her way
Gets 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

VERSE:
"Men just aren't the same today"
I hear every mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired 
They're so hard to satisfy
You can tranquilize your mind
BREAK:
So go running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And for to help you through the night
Help to minimize your plight

VERSE:
"Life's just much too hard today,"
I hear every mother say
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore 
And if you take more of those
You will get an overdose
BREAK:
No more running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
They just helped you on your way
Through your busy dying day
