Well, I'm a gonna raise a fuss, I'm a gonna raise a holler   I've been working all summer just to try and earn a dollar   Well, I went to the boss, said I got a date   The boss said "No Dice, son, you gotta work late"      Sometimes I wonder, what am I gonna do   There ain't no cure for the summertime blues      Well, my mom and poppa told me, "Son you gotta earn some money   If you want to use the car to go out next Sunday"   Well, I didn't go to work, I told the boss I was sick   He said "You can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"      Sometimes I wonder, what am I gonna do   There ain't no cure for the summertime blues      Gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation   Gonna take my problems to the United Nations   Well, I went to my congressman, he said, quote   "I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"      Sometimes I wonder, what am I gonna do   There ain't no cure for the summertime blues
