INTRO: (7th fret for orig.) What a drag it is getting old... #1. 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.. She goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper, and it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day. #2. Things are different today, I hear every mother say, cooking fresh food for her 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. Em Doctor please, some more of these..outside the door, she took four more. What a drag it is getting old.. #3. 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, but you can tranquilize your mind. and go running for the shelter of a mother's 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.. #4. 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. No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper, they just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day. Doctor please, some more of these..outside the door, she took four more. What a drag it is getting old.. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
