Well, i'm a gonna raise a fuss
I'm gonna raise a holler
About workin' all the summer
Just to try to earn a dollar
Everytime i call my baby,
To try to get a date
My boss says "no dice, sonyou gotta work late"
Sometimes i wonder what i 'm gonna do
'cause there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues
Well my mom'n'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
'cause there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues
I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the united nation
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
'cause there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues
