Well, I'm gonna raise a fuss
|
I'm gonna raise a holler
|
About a working all summer
|
Just to try to earn a dollar
|
Well, time I called 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 Poppa told me, son
|
You gotta make some money
|
If you want to use the car
|
To go ridin' next Sunday
|
Well I didn't go to work
|
Told the boss I was sick
|
Well 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
|
Well I called my congressman
|
And he said, whoa
|
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
|
