Summertime Blues

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm a-gonna raise a fuss I'm a-gonna raise a holler About working all summer Just to try to earn a dollar Every time I call my baby Try to get a date My boss says "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 mama and papa told me "Son, you gotta make some money If you wanna use the car To go a-riding 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" [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 called 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
