I'm a-gonna raise a fuss

I'm a-gonna raise a holler

about a-workin' all summer

just to try to earn a dollar

Well, by the time

I called my baby

try to get a date

my boss says

Sometimes I wonder

what I'm a-gonna do

but there ain't no cure

for the summertime blues

Oh, well my Mom

and Papa told me, son

you gotta make some money

If you wanna use the car

to go a-ridin' next Sunday

Well, I didn't go to work

told the boss I was sick

Sometimes I wonder

what I'm a-gonna do

but there ain't no cure

for the summertime blues

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

Sometimes I wonder

what I'm a-gonna do

but there ain't no cure

for the summertime blues
