Kids are different today
I hear every mother say
F
Mother needs something today to calm her down
G
And though she's not really ill
C
There's a little yellow pill
BREAK:
Am Asus2
She goes running for the shelter
Am Asus2
Of a mother's little helper
Em
And it helps her on her way
Gets her through her busy day -- RIFF -- x's
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 to help her on her way
Get her through her busy day
CHORUS:
C
Doctor please
D
Some more of these
G
Outside the door
C
She took four more
Am D Em -- RIFF -- 1x
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 tranquilise 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 minimise your plight
CHORUS:
Doctor please
Some more of these
Outside the door
She took four more
What a drag it is getting old
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 to the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
They just helped you on your way
Through your busy dying day
