Kids are different today,

Mother needs something today to calm her down

And though she’s not really ill

There’s a little yellow pill

Cooking fresh food for a husband’s just a drag

So she buys an instant cake and she frys her frozen steak

Doctor please, some more of these
-4 -5   -5   5     5   6    6   -5 
Outside the door, she took four more

Men just aren’t the same today
I hear ev’ry mother say
They just don’t appreciate that you get tired
They’re so hard to satisfy, you can tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter of a mother’s little helper
And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight
