Summertime Blues

James Taylor - Summertime Blues

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

I've been a- workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar

Everytime I call my baby try to make a date

The 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 poppa told me "Son, you gotta earn some money

If you wanna use the car to go riding next Sunday"

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

He said "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

Gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation

Gonna take my problem 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 a-gonna do

But there ain't to cure for the summertime blues

But there ain't to cure for the summertime blues
