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 Well the time'll come a baby
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
Oh well my mama and papa told me You gotta make some money If you wanna use the car To go a ridin' next Sunday Oh 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 ya 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
