I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna
raise a holler
About a-workin' all summer just to try
to earn a dollar
Everytime I call my Baby to try to
get a date
My boss says, "No dice son, you gotta
work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the
summertime blues

Well, my Mom and Papa told me,
"Son, you gotta make some money"
"If you want to use the car to go a-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 a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the
summertime blues

I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have
a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the
United Nations
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 a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the
summertime blues
