I'm a gonna raise a holler
About working all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby trying to get a date
Boss says, "No date son, you gotta work late"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues, hey

Well my mom and popa told me
"Son you gotta make some money"
Well, if you want to use the car then go right on 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"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

I gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
Take in all my problem to the United Nations
I called my congress man and he said quote
"I would like to help you son but you're to young to vote"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
