It's about depressed suburban housewives who take prescription pills to cope. The pills are called "mother's little helper" because they help her zonk out and forget how unhappy she is: "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 a mother's little helper...Doctor please/Some more of these/Outside the door/She took four more...They're so hard to satisfy, you can tranquilize your mind/And go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper..."
