Summertime Blues

[Verse 1]

Well, I'm going to raise a fuss, I'm a, going to raise a holler

I've been working all summer just to try to earn a dollar

Every time I call my baby, tried to make a date

The boss says, "No dice son, you got to work late"

[Chorus]

Sometimes I wonder what I'm going to do

But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

[Verse 2]

Well, my mom and poppa told me

Son, you got to earn some money

If you want to use the car to go riding next Sunday

Well, I didn't go to work, I told the boss I was sick

You can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

I'm going to take three weeks, gonna have a fine vacation

I'm going to take my problem to the United Nations

Well, I called my Congressman and he said, quote

"I'd like to help you, son, but you're too young to vote"

[Chorus]

[Outro]

Say the same thing, everyday, not going to work

Doing nothing, no, no

There ain't to cure for the summertime blues
