Well, I'm a gonna raise a fuss I'm gonna raise a holler About workin' all the summer Just to try to earn a dollar Everytime I call my baby To try to get a date My boss says: No dice, sonyou gotta work late Sometimes I wonder what I 'm gonna do 'Cause there ain't no cure For the summertime blues Well my mom'n'papa told me Son, you gotta make some money If you wanna use the car to go ridin' next Sunday 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 gonna do 'Cause there ain't no cure For the summertime blues I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a vacation I'm gonna take my problem to the united nation 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 gonna do 'Cause there ain't no cure For the summertime blues
