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
