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

 Em
Things are different today, I hear every mother say
 F D 
Cooking fresh food for her husband's just a drag
 G C   C/B  Am
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
 Am D7
And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
 Em  
And to help her on her way, get her through her busy day

Doctor, please, some more of these

Outside the door she took four more

 Em 
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 C/B  Am 
They're so hard to satisfy, you can tranquilize your mind
 
   D7
So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
 Em 
And for help you through the night, help to minimize your plight

  Em
Life's just much too hard today, I hear every mother say
   F D
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
 G C C/B Am
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
 
     D7 
No more running for the shelter of her mother's little helper
 Em 
They just help you on your way through your busy dying day
