Joan wasn’t fazed but you know that she was crazed
In a rehab home.
Late nights working her 12 step program
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Maxwell Edison, managing her medicine,
Says the bell has gone.
"Time to take your medication,
Joa, oa, oa, oan?"

But as she's getting ready to go,
A knock comes like before.

Down! Down ! Mother’s little helper
She placed it in her mouth
Down! Down! Mother’s little helper
Started heading south.

Waiting for the bell to ring, the group begins to sing
“ Withers", Lean On Me
Wishing to avoid and unpleasant
Sce, e, e, ene,

Max asks Joan to stay after group has gone away,
So she waits behind
Wond’ring why oh why "I must not be
So, o, o, o"

But as the day drags on and time gets long,
It creeps up from behind.

Down! Down! Mother’s little helper
She placed it in her mouth
Down! Down! Mother’s little helper
Made sure it was heading south

Jesus forgives her sin, now she has her ten day pin
Eighteen days to go
Painting therapeutical pictures.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Rose and Paige , screaming from the Visitors Lounge
Visit at afternoon tea
(I need my afternoon tea)
Maxwell? Well, he agrees and he tells them
So, o, o, o.

But as the words are leaving his lips,
Joan takes it as a sign.

Down! Down ! Mother’s little helper
She placed it in her mouth
Down! Down! Mother’s little helper
Started heading south.

Whoa, oh, oh, oh.
Little helper man
