Summertime Blues

[Verse 1]

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, got to cover a date

But the boss said, "No dice, son, you gotta work late"

[Chorus]

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do

But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

[Verse 2]

Well, my mom and 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, told the boss I was sick, yeah

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

[Chorus]

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do

But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

[Verse 3]

I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation

I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations

Well, I went to my congressman, and he said, quote

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

[Chorus]

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do

But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

[Outro]

Summertime blues

Yeah, the summertime blues
