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" Sometimes I wonder, what I'm a-gonna do But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues ♪ 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" 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 Oh, well, I called 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
