-gonna raise a fuss,
I'm a -gonna raise a holler
About a workin' ol' summer
just to try to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby,
try to get a date
My boss says, Don't die, 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 wanna use the car,
to go a -ridin' next Sunday
Well, I didn't go to work,
told the boss I was sick
Well, you can't use a car
cause you didn't work or live
Sometimes I wonder what I'm 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, called my congressman and he said,
whoa
I'd like to help you, son,
but you're too young to vote
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
But there ain't no cure
