Summertime Blues

Lyrics

Well, I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler
 About workin' all summer just to try an' earn a dollar
 Every time I call my baby, to try to get a date
 My boss says, "No dice, son, you gotta work late"
 Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
 'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
 ♪
 Well, my mom an' papa told me, "Son, you gotta make some money
 If you wanna use the car to go ridin' 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 gonna do
 'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
 ♪
 I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a vacation
 I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nation
 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 gonna do
 'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
 ♪
 Well, I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler
 About workin' all summer just to try an' earn a dollar
 Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
 'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
 Yeah, sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
 'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
 No, there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
