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!
