What a drag it is getting old

Kids are different today, I hear every mother say
F D
Mother needs something today to calm her down
G C Am
And though she's not really ill, there's a little yellow pill
Am D7
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

Things are different today, I hear every mother say
F D
Cooking fresh food for her husband's just a drag
G C Am
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
Am D7
She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
Em
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day
C D
Doctor, please, some more of these
G C
Outside the door she took four more

What a drag it is getting old

Men just aren't the same today, I hear every mother say
F D
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
G C Am
They're so hard to satisfy, you can tranquilize your mind
Am D7
So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
Em
And four help you through the night, help to minimise your plight
C D
Doctor, please, some more of these
G C
Outside the door she took four more
Am C D Em
What a drag it is getting old

Life's just much too hard today, I hear ev´ry mother say

The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
G C Am
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
Am D7
No more running for the shelter of her mother's little helper
Em
They just helped you on your way through your busy dying day
