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.
Well I'm gonna raise a fuss
I'm gonna raise a holla
I've been working all day just to get myself that dollar
Well sometimes I sit and wonder
Wondering what to do
Because I said there ain't future just a-sittin' around with you
She said now did you stop and think about it for a minute in your life cos something ain't really true
Cos there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Well I'm gonna kick up a stink
And rock the whole nation
Well I'm gonna keep on working till I get my deputation
Well sometimes I sit alone and wonder
Wondering what to do
Because I said there ain't time just a-messin' around with you
She said now did you stop and think about it for a minute in your life cos something ain't really true
Cos there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Yeah
Said yeah
Said yeah
Well I'm gonna kick up a stink
Gonna rock the whole nation
Well I'm gonna keep on working till I get my hands on that deputation
Well my momma said now don't you worry son, don't you worry about what to do
She said now don't you worry about one thing I'll just tell it for you
She said did you stop and think about it for a minute in your life cos something ain't really true
Cos there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Said yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Alright
No cure for the summertime blues
No none at all
I know what to fall
