Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler
I've been working all summer just to try and earn a dollar
Well, I went to the boss, got to cover a date
But the boss said, "No dice, son, you gotta work late"
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
[Instrumental]
Well, my mom and papa 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, yeah
"You can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
[Instrumental]
I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well, I went to my congressman, and he said, quote
"I'd like to help you, son, but you're too young to vote"
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
[Outro]
Summertime blues
Yeah, the summertime blues
