Well I'm gonna raise a fuss And I'm gonna raise a holler I been workin' all summer Just to try to make a dollar yeah Every time I call my baby To try to make a date My boss say, "no, dice, son You gotta work late" Sometime I wonder What I'ma gonnna do There ain't no cure For the summertime blues Now mom and pop told me son You got to make some money today If one wanna use the car to go Ridin' next Sunday Well, I didn't go to work Told the boss I was sick "You can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick" Sometime I wonder What I'm gonnna do There ain't no cure For the summertime blues I'm gonna take three weeks Gonna have a fine vacation Gonna take my problem To the United Nation Well, I call my congressman He said quote, "I'd like to help you, son but you're too young to vote." Sometime I wonder What I'ma gonnna do There ain't no cure For the summertime blues So the same thing every day Gettin' up to go to work There's no way darlin', no no You know there ain't no cure For the summertime blues
