Summertime Blues

Well I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler

About workin' all summer just to try an' earn a dollar. Every time I call my baby, try to get a date,

My boss says, "No dice, son. You gotta work late."

Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do,

'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues.

Well my mom 'n pop told me, "Son you gotta make some money.

If you wanna use the car to go 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 gonna do,

'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues.

I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a vacation.

Gonna take my problems 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 gonna do,

'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues.

Well I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler

About workin' all summer just to try an' earn a dollar.

Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do,

'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues.

Yeah, sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do,

'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues.

No there ain't no cure for the summertime blues!
