I'm gonna raise a fuss
I'm gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer
Just-a
trying to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby
And ask her to date
My boss says
"Uh duh 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 mama 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
So my pa said I was sick
"You can't use
the car
'Cuz you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what l'm-a gonna do
But
there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
I'm going to take your wish
Gonna have
a fine vacation
l'm gonna take my problem
Through the United Nations
Well I called my
congressman
And he said to woe
"l'd like to help you son
But you're too young to
vote"
Sometimes I wonder what l'm-a gonna do
But there ain't no cure
For the
summertime blues
