Summertime Blues

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

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

Every time I call my baby and ask 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

Well, my mom and pop told me, "Son, you gotta make some money"

If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday

Well, I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick

Well 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 the weeks, gonna have a fine vacation

I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations

Well, I 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 a gonna do

But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
