I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler

 About a-worki' all summer, just to -try 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

x2

Well my mom and poppa told me: Son, you gotta make some money

If you wanta use the car to go a-ridin' next Sunday

 Well I didn't go to 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

x2

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, 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
