Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

About working all summer just to try and earn a dollar

Every time I call my baby to try to get a date

My boss says, "No dice, son, you gotta work late"

[Chorus]

Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do

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

[Verse 2]

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

If you wanna use the car to go riding 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"

[Chorus]

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

I'm 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"

[Chorus]

Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do

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

[Verse 3]

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

About working all summer just to try and earn a dollar

Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do

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

[Chorus]

Yeah, sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do

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

[Outro]

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