Summertime Blues

Lyrics

I'm gonna raise a fuss
 I'm gonna raise a holler
 About workin' all summer
 Just-a trying to earn a dollar
 Every time I call my baby
 And ask her to date
 My boss says "Uh duh son you gotta work late"
 Sometimes I wonder
 What I'm-a gonna do
 But there ain't no cure
 For the summertime blues
 ♪
 Well my mama 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
 So my pa said I was sick
 "You can't use the car
 'Cause you didn't work a lick"
 Sometimes I wonder what l'm-a gonna do
 But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
 I'm going to take your wish
 Gonna have a fine vacation
 I'm gonna take my problem
 To the United Nations
 Well I called my congressman
 And he said to woe
 "I'd like to help you son
 But you're too young to vote"
 Sometimes I wonder what l'm-a gonna do
 But there ain't no cure
 For the summertime blues
