What a drag it is getting old.
"Things are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
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 it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day.
"Things are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she buys a frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper
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
What a drag it is getting old.
"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 tranquilise your mind
So go running for the shelter of your mother's little helper
And four help you through the night, help to minimise your plight.
Doctor, please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old.
Life's just much too hard today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
They just helped you on your way through your busy dying day."Hello? Na na she don't live here man.
I thought I told you! I think you need to step off aight!?"
Moved in to my apartment at the uni-i-versity
the only one who lives here is me
so why the phone ring all day long?
I got no friends except Mike and hes gone for the summer
and I just want some piece and quiet
come into my room and its a telephone riot
ring-a-ling-a-ling everytime I take a step
can't sleep can't eat can't breathe can't get any of my work done
cuz people keep calling with the same damn question
"Hello, is Shaniqua there?"
"Na, Shaniqua moved out last year, I think you have the wrong number.
This is Little T."
"You mean Shaniqua's brother?"
"Man, can't you just leave me alone?
This aint Shaniqua's house this aint her phone. And don't call back again,
cuz if you do you know the answer man..."
CHORUS:
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
"Is Shaniqua there?"
HELL NO
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
"Is Shaniqua there?"
HELL NO
I wonder who Shaniqua is
what she does or where she lives
is she a pot head with too many zits?
a moviestar with incredible tits?
does she take a train? or drive in a car?
work in the office? or down at the bar?
how the hell should i know...she could be albino for all i care
"Hello, is Shaniqua there?"
"Yea she is but she can't talk now.
She's busy milkin' our purple cow and talking to the Easter bunny."
"Man, you think your funny."
"Shut up Bevis! I've told you 6 times before...
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'!"
CHORUS:
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
"Is Shaniqua there?"
