Lyrics

I'm gonna raise a fuss
I'm gonna raise a holler
About working all summer
Just to try to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby
Try 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
Oh and my momma, poppa 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"
Sometimes I wonder
What I'm a 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 I called up 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 no cure for the summertime blues
