I'm gonna raise a fuss

And I'm gonna raise a holler

About workin' all summer

Just tryin' to earn a dollar

Everytime I call my baby

Try to get a date

The boss said no dice and

You gotta work late

Sometime I wonder

What I'm gonna do

But there ain't no cure

For the summertime blues

Well my mom and papa told me

Son you gotta make some money

If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday

Well I didn't go to work told the boss I was sick

Well 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 the weeks gonna have a fine vacation

I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations

Well I called my congressman and he said whoa

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
