I'm a gonna raise a fuss
I'm a gonna raise a holler
About a workin' all summer
just to try to earn a dollar
Well, the time
I call my baby
To try to get a date
My boss says
"no dice, son
You gotta work late!"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Oh well, my Mama and
Papa told me
"Son, you gotta make some money"
"If you wanna use the car to go a ridin'
next Sunday"
Oh well,
I didn't go to work told the boss I was sick
"Now you can't use the car
Cause you didn't work a lick!"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
I'm gonna take two weeks gonna have
a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to
the United Nations
Well, I called my congressman
and he said, quote
"I'd like to help you, son
but you're too young to vote!"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
