Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

About a-workin' all summer just-a tryin' 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"

[Chorus]

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do

But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

[Verse 2]

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

If you wanna use the car to go a-ridin' next Sunday

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

"Uh, 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

[Verse 3]

I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation

I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations

Oh, 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 a-gonna do

But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
