"Things are different today", I hear every mother say
Helps to minimize her plight
Oh, Doctor, please
Of a mother's little helper
And two gets her on her way
"Men just aren't the same today", I hear every mother say
They're so hard to satisfy
And she burns her frozen steak
Of a mother's little helper
Oh, Doctor, please
"Kids are different today", I hear every mother say
Some more of these
Your pursuit of happiness is such a bore
Outside the door
And two gets her on her way
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
"You just aren't the same today", I hear every mother say
She took four more
And though she's not really ill
No more running for the shelter
What a drag, it is getting old
If you take some more of those
Gets her through her busy day
Of a mother's little helper
And goes running for the shelter
What a drag, it is getting old
Outside the door
And four gets her through the night
And go running for the shelter
Some more of these
So she buys an instant cake
Of a mother's little helper
You just need something today to calm her down
There's a little yellow pill
You can tranquilize your mind
Gets her through her busy day
She took four more
She goes running for the shelter
You will get an overdose
And four gets her on her way
Cooking fresh food for a husband's such a drag
