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.
Well, I'm a gonna raise a fuss, I'm a gonna raise a holler
'Bout working all summer just to try and earn a dollar
Well, I went to the boss, said I got a date
But the boss said: No dice, son, you gotta work late
Sometimes I wonder, what am I gonna do?
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Well, my mom and poppa told me: Son you gotta earn some money
If you want to use the car to go out next Sunday
Well, I didn't go to work, I told the boss I was sick
He said: You can't use the car, cause you didn't work a lick
Sometimes I wonder, what am I gonna do?
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
Gonna take my problems to the United Nations
Well, I went to my congressman, he said, quote:
I'd like to help you son, but you're too young to vote
Sometimes I wonder, what am I gonna do?
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues
