Well I'm a-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 'n' 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 a-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
