Summertime Blues

I'm gonna raise a fuss

I'm gonna raise a holler

About working all summer

Just to try to earn a dollar

Everytime I call my baby

Try to get a date

My boy says, "No, dice, son

You gotta work late"



Sometime I wonder

What am I gonnna do

But there ain't no cure

For the summertime blues



Well, my mom and papa told me

Son you got to make some money

If you wanna use the car to go

Riding 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"



Sometime I wonder

What am I gonnna do

But there ain't no cure

For the summertime blues



I'm gonna take two weeks

Gonna have a fine vacation

I'm gonna take my problem

To the United Nations

Well, I called up my congressman

And he sent a note

"I'd like to help you, son

But you're too young to vote"



Sometime I wonder

What am I gonnna do

But there ain't no cure

For the summertime blues
