Summertime Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm a gonna raise a fuss and I'm gonna raise a holler about a working all summer
just to try to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby to try to get a date my boss says: "No dice girl, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do 'cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Well my mama pupa told me: "Girl, you gotta make some money if you want to use the care to go riding next Sunday"
Well I didn't go to work I 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 'cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
I'm gonna take two weeks
I'm gonna have a fun vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well, I called my congresswoman she said quote: "I'd like to help you girl, but you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do 'cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues (ain't no cure for the summertime blues)
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues (ain't no cure for the summertime blues)
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues (ain't no cure for the summertime blues)
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues (ain't no cure for the summertime blues)
There ain't no cure...
