Well, I'm gonna raise a fuss I'm gonna raise a holler 'Bout workin' all summer Just to try to earn a dollar Well, I went to the bossman Tried to get a break But the boss said 'No dice, son, You gotta work late'
Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do 'Cos 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 care To go riding next Sunday Well, I wouldn't go to work I told the boss I was sick He said 'You can't use the car 'Cos you didn't work a lick'
Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do 'Cos there ain't no cure for the Summertime Blues
Gonna take two weeks Gonna have a fine vacation Gonna take my problem To the United Nations Well' I went to my congressman He said 'quote' 'I'd like to help you son, But you're too yound to vote'
Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do 'Cos there ain't no cure for the Summertime Blues
