Well i'm a gonna raise a fuss
I'm a gonna raise a hollar
Bout workin all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Well the time to go on baby tryin to get a date
Boss says no date son you gotta work late
Sometimes I wonder what i'm a gonna do
But their aint 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 then go right on 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 a gonna do
But their aint no cure for the summertime blues
Gonna take 2 weeks gonna have a fine vacation
Gonna take my problem to the United Nation
Well I called my congress man and he said quote
I would like to help ya son but you're to young to vote
Sometimes I wonder what i'm a gonna do
But their aint no cure for the summertime blues
