Summertime Blues - 2018 Remaster

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
 'Cuz 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
 Through 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
