I'm a gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler
About a-workin' all summer just a-trying to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby, try to get a date
The boss says: " No dice son you gotta work a-late"
Some times I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom and pappa told me
" Son you gotta earn some money if you wanna
Use the car to go a riding next sunday"
Well I didn't got 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

It's gonna take two weeks for have my vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the united nations
Well I told my congress man 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
