v.1
Well I'm a-gonna raise a fuss I'm a-gonna raise a holler
I been workin' all summer just a-tryin' to make a dollar
Everytime I call my baby ask her out for a date
My boss says "No dice, son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
v.2
My mom an' papa told me "son you gotta earn some money"
"If you wanna use the car to ridin' next Sunday"
Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
"Now ya can't use the car cause you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
v.3
Gonna take 2 weeks gonna take a long vacation
Gonna take my problems to the United Nations
Well I called up my congressman he said quote
"I'd like to help you son, but you're too young to vote!"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues
