WELL, I'M A-GONNA RAISE A FUSS
I'M A-GONNA RAISE A HOLLER
'BOUT WORKIN' ALL SUMMER
JUST TO TRY TO EARN A DOLLAR
WELL, I WENT TO THE BOSS
TRIED TO GET A BREAK
MY BOSS SAID
NO DICE, SON

SOMETIMES I WONDER
WHAT I'M A-GONNA DO
BUT THERE AIN'T NO CURE
FOR THE SUMMERTIME BLUES
WELL, MY MOM
AND PAPA TOLD ME
SON, YOU GOTTA

IF YOU WANNA USE THE CAR
TO GO A RIDIN' NEXT SUNDAY
WELL, I DIDN'T GO TO WORK
I TOLD THE BOSS I WAS SICK
HEY SAID, 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
GONNA TAKE TWO WEEKS
GONNA HAVE A FINE VACATION
I'M GONNA TAKE MY PROBLEM
TO THE UNITED NATION
WELL, I WENT
TO 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
BUT THERE AIN'T NO CURE
FOR THE SUMMERTIME BLUES
