What a drag it is getting old
Kids are different today,
I hear evry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though shes not really ill
Theres a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mothers little helper
And it helps her on her way,
Gets her through her busy day

Things are different today,
I hear evry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husbands just a drag
So she buys an instant cake
And she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of a mothers little helper
And two help her on her way,
Get 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

Men just arent the same today
I hear evry mother say
They just dont appreciate that you get tired
Theyre so hard to satisfy,
You can tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter of a mothers 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

Lifes just much too hard today,
I hear evry mother say
The pusuit 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 mothers little helper
They just helped you on your way,
Through your busy dying day

Qué lata que se está poniendo viejo
Los niños son diferentes hoy en día,
He oído decir que la madre ev'ry
Madre necesita algo hoy para calmarla
Y aunque ella no está realmente enfermo
Hay una pequeña píldora amarilla
Ella va corriendo para el refugio de un poco de ayuda de la madre
Y le ayuda en su camino, llega ella a través de su día de trabajo

Las cosas son diferentes hoy en día,
He oído decir que la madre ev'ry
Cocinar los alimentos frescos por un marido sólo un arrastre
Así que ella compra un pastel inmediata y ella se quema su carne congelada
Y sale corriendo para el refugio de un poco de ayuda de la madre
Y dos ayudarla en su camino, a través de ella obtener su día de trabajo

Doctor por favor, algunos más de estos
Fuera de la puerta, tomó más de cuatro
Qué lata que se está poniendo viejo

'Los hombres simplemente no son lo mismo hoy
He oído decir que la madre ev'ry
Simplemente no entendemos que te cansas
Son tan difíciles de satisfacer, puede tranquilizar tu mente
Así que ir corriendo para el cobijo de una madre pocoayudante
Y cuatro ayudarle a través de la noche, ayudan a minimizar su difícil situación

Doctor por favor, algunos más de estos
Fuera de la puerta, tomó más de cuatro
Qué lata que se está poniendo viejo

'La vida es demasiado duro hoy ,
He oído decir que la madre ev'ry
El pusuit de la felicidad apenas se parece un aburrimiento
Y si se demora más de esos, usted recibirá una sobredosis
No más correr para el cobijo de un poco de ayuda de la madre
Ellos sólo le ayudó en su camino, a través de su día ocupado muriendo
