I'm gonna raise a fuss

I'm gonna raise a holler

About a workin' all summer

Just to try to earn a dollar

Every time I call my baby

And 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

Well my mom and pop 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 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 shit

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

But there ain't no cure for

The summertime blues
