Oh Lord, I got to raise a fuss, Lord I got to raise a holler   About a workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar   Oh Lord, I tried to call my baby, I tried to get a date      Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do   Lord, there ain't no cure for the summertime blues      Well, my mom and pop told me, "Son you gotta make some money   Well, if you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday"   Well, Lord I didn't go to work I told the boss I was sick he said      Sometimes I wonder, what I'm a gonna do   Lord, there ain't no cure for the summertime blues      I've got to take the weeks I got to have a fun vacation   I've got to take my problem to the United Nations   I done told my congressman and he said, "Whoa, take this boy"      Sometimes I wonder, what I'm a gonna do   Lord, there ain't no cure for the summertime blues      I've got to take the weeks, I got to have a fun vacation   I've got to take my problem, to the United Nations   I done told my congressman and he said, "Whoa, take this boy"      Sometimes I wonder, what I'm a gonna do   Lord, there ain't no cure, for the summertime blues   Whoa, there ain't no cure
