Well, there ain't no cure

For the summertime blues.



Well, I'm gonna raise a fuss

And I'm gonna raise a holler

About workin' all summer

Just to try to raise a dollar

Everytime I call my baby

Just to try to get a date

My boss says "No, dice, son

You gotta work late"



Sometime I wonder

What I'm gonnna do

There ain't no cure

For the summertime blues



Well, my mom and pop told me

Son, you got to make some money

If you want to use the car

to go a ridin' next Sunday

Well, I didn't go to work

I told my boss I was sick

Now, "You can't use the car

'Cause you didn't work a lick"



Sometime I wonder

What I'm gonnna do

There ain't no cure

For the summertime blues



I'm Gonna take two weeks

Gonna have a fine vacation

Gonna take my problem

To the United Nations

Well, I called my congressman

He said quote

"I''d love to help you, son

But you're too young to vote"



Sometime I wonder

What I'm gonnna do

There ain't no cure

For the summertime blues...
