I'm a gonna raise a fuss I'm a gonna raise a holler About a workin' all summer Just a trying to earn a dollar Every time I call my baby Try to get a date The boss says 'No dice son you gotta work a late' Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do But there ain't no cure for the Summertime Blues Well my Mom and Poppa told me, 'Son you gotta earn some money If you wanna use the car to go a riding next Sunday' Well I didn't got 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 a gonna do But there ain't no cure for the Summertime Blues It's gonna take two weeks for to have my vacation I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations Well I told my congress man and he said, quote 'I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote' Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do But there ain't no cure for the Summertime Blues
