Mother's Little Helper Lyrics


What a drag, it is getting old"Kids are different today", I hear every mother say
You just need something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pillShe goes running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And two gets her on her way
Gets her through her busy day"Things are different today", I hear every mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's such a drag
So she buys an instant cake
And she burns her frozen steakAnd goes running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And two gets her on her way
Gets her through her busy dayOh, Doctor, please
Some more of these
Outside the door
She took four moreWhat a drag, it is getting old"Men just aren't the same today", I hear every mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy

You can tranquilize your mindAnd go running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And four gets her through the night
Helps to minimize her plightOh, Doctor, please
Some more of these
Outside the door
She took four moreWhat a drag, it is getting old"You just aren't the same today", I hear every mother say
Your pursuit of happiness is such a bore
If you take some more of those
You will get an overdoseNo more running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And four gets her on her wayHey!

Tesla is an American hard rock band originating from Sacramento, California. The band formed in 1984 as City Kidd and was renamed to Tesla during the recording of their first album on the advice of their manager. According to the Love Song Songfacts, their name comes from Nikola Tesla, the legendary scientist and inventor who quite possibly is single-handedly responsible for the "mad scientist" trope. Originally, the group included Jeff Keith (vocals), Frank Hannon (guitar), Tommy Skeoch (guitar), Brian Wheat (bass) and Troy Luccketta (drums). In 2006 Skeoch was replaced by Dave Rude, who is now an official member of the band.

Tesla's music fit well with the blasting sound of the 80s glam bands, but was more bluesy and lyrics dealt with other themes than just the usual, girls, alcohol and violence. But what set them even more apart from their contemporaries was their T-shirt and jeans image which was in strong contrast for that time, characteristic of leather pants and flashy-make up.

The group released 6 albums with original music, latest of them entitled "Forever More" (2008) as well as a double-disc covers album "Real To Reel" and a number of compilations and live albums.

Tesla's popular 1990 remake of Signs, originally recorded by the Five Man Electrical Band (who also inspired the album which the remake came from, Five Man Acoustical Jam), is probably the most mainstream of Tesla's hits. However, many fans remember fondly Tesla's other hits such as Gettin' Better, Modern Day Cowboy, Little Suzi, Edison's Medicine and Love Song.

The band derived their name, certain album and song names (e.g. The Great Radio Controversy, Mechanical Resonance, etc), and some song content from events relating to Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer born in the 19th century in Smiljan, Austria-Hungary, modern day Croatia.
