Well I'm a gonna raise a fuss, I'm a gonna raise a holler
About workin all summer just to try and earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby, to try to get a date
My boss says, no dice, son, you gotta work late
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
Cuz 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 out Sunday
Well I didn't go to work, I told the boss I was sick
Now you can't use the car cuz you didn't work a lick
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
Cuz 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 troubles to the United Nations
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
Cuz there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
About workin all summer just to try and earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby, to try to get a date
My boss says, no dice, son, you gotta work late
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
Cuz 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 out Sunday
Well I didn't go to work, I told the boss I was sick
Now you can't use the car cuz you didn't work a lick
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
Cuz 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 troubles to the United Nations
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
Cuz there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
