Well I'm a gonna raise a fuss   I'm a gonna raise a holler   about working all summer just to try to earn a dollar every   time i call my baby trying to get a date   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   well my mom and popa told me   son you gotta make some money   if you want to use the car to go a-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      gonna take two weeks gonna have a fine vacation   gonna take my problem to the united nations   well I called my congress man and he said quote   "I would like to help you son but your to young to vote"   sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do   but there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
