I'm gonna raise a fuss
|
I'm gonna raise a holler
|
About workin' all summer
|
Just-a trying to earn a dollar
|
Every time I call my baby
|
And ask her to date
|
My boss says "Uh duh son you gotta work late"
|
Sometimes I wonder
|
What I'm-a gonna do
|
But there ain't no cure
|
For the summertime blues
|
|
Well my mama 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
|
So my pa said I was sick
|
"You can't use the car
|
'Cuz you didn't work a lick"
|
Sometimes I wonder what l'm-a gonna do
|
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
|
|
I'm going to take your wish
|
Gonna have a fine vacation
|
l'm gonna take my problem
|
Through the United Nations
|
Well I called my congressman
|
And he said to woe
|
"l'd like to help you son
|
But you're too young to vote"
|
Sometimes I wonder what l'm-a gonna do
|
But there ain't no cure
|
For the summertime blues
|
