SUMMERTIME BLUES
 

Well, I'm gonna raise a fuss 
I'm gonna raise a holler 
About a working all summer 
Just to try to earn a dollar 
Well, time I called my baby 
Try to get a date 
My boss says, no dice son 
You gotta work late 
Sometimes I wonder 
What I'm a gonna do 
But there ain't no cure 
For the summertime blues 

Oh, well my Mom and Poppa told me, son 
You gotta make some money 
If you want to use the car 
To go ridin' next Sunday 
Well I didn't go to work 
Told the boss I was sick 
Well 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 

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, whoa 
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

Well, I'm gonna raise a fuss 
I'm gonna raise a holler 
About a working all summer 
Just to try to earn a dollar 
Well, time I called my baby 
Try to get a date 
My boss says, no dice son 
You gotta work late 
Sometimes I wonder 
What I'm a gonna do 
But there ain't no cure 
For the summertime blues
