Summertime Blues

Lyrics

Well, I'm gonna raise a fuss  
I'm gonna raise a holler  
'Bout workin' all summer  
Just to try to earn a dollar  
Well, I went to the boss man  
Tried to get a break  
But the boss said 'No dice, son,  
You gotta work late'  
  
Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do  
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues  
  
Well, my Mom and Poppa told me  
Son, you gotta earn some money  
If you want to use the care  
To go riding next Sunday  
Well, I wouldn't go to work  
I told the boss I was sick  
He said 'You can't use the car  
'Cause you didn't work a lick'  
  
Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do  
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues  
  
Gonna take two weeks  
Gonna have a fine vacation  
Gonna take my problem  
To the United Nations  
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 am I gonna do  
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
