What a drag it is, getting old
It`s so different today, I hear every mother say
They just need something today, for confidence
And though she`s not really ill, there`s a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of her mother`s little helper
And the kids are all away, it`s a blue and busy day
Things are different today, I hear every mother say
Couldn`t crash before her husband, such a drag
So she buys a [risen] cake and she burns a frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of her mother`s little helper
And the kids are all away, it`s a blue and busy day
Oh doctor, please, I`m [on my knees], outside the door she took for more
What a drag it is, getting old
When you stop and save today, I hear every mother say
They just don`t appreciate that you`ve retired
They`re so hard to satisfy, lookin` tranquil at your mind
And goes running for the shelter of her mother`s little helper
And forgets her through the night, helps to minimize her flight
Oh doctor, please, I`m [on my knees], outside the door she took for more
What a drag it is, getting old
When you stop and save today, I hear every mother say
That this mood of happiness is such a bore
If you take some more of those, you will get an overdose
You`ll go running for the shelter of your mother`s little helper
And forget to run away
Hey!
Uh-oh! I fucked up there a little bit, please don`t tell Mick!
Alright! Now it`s time to play something a little different
It`s a song of our first album (surprise `em)
And it`s gonna be rocking (surprise `em)
Yeah, surprise, this is called Surprise for you
Surprise `em, surprise `em
Surprise, surprise (okay, tell `em what it is)
(Wanna tell `em what it is, or should I just start it?)
Start it, Frank! Hey, right on...
Yeah, ow, alright!
