I'm gonna raise a fuss I'm gonna raise a holler A-but-a 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 I'm-a gonna do But there ain't no cure For the summertime blues Gonna take two weeks Gonna have a fine vacation I'm gonna take my problem Through the United Nations I called up my congressman And he said I'd like to help you Sonny But you're too young to vote Sometimes I wonder what I'm-a gonna do But there ain't no cure For the summertimes blues
