I'm gonna raise a fuss

I'm gonna raise a holler

About workin' all summer

Just tryin' to raise a dollar

Every time I call my baby

And ask for a date

My boss says

No dice son you gotta work late

Sometimes 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 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

But there ain't no cure

For the summertime blues

I'm gonna take two weeks

Gonna have a fine vacation

Gonna take my problem

To the United Nations

Well I call 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

But there ain't no cure

For the summertime blues
