Summertime Blues

Lyrics

Well, I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler About taking off summer just to try to earn a dollar Every time I call my baby to try to get a date My boss says, "No dice, son, you gotta work late" Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues Well, mama and papa told me, "Son, you gotta make some money If you wanna use the car to go 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" Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues Taking two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation Taking all my problems to the United Nations Well, I called my congressman and he said a quote "I'd like to help you, son, but you're too young to vote" Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do There ain't no cure for the summertime blues
