Summertime Blues

Summertime Blues

Well, I'm a'gonna raise a fuss,
An' I'm a'gonna raise a holler
I've been working all summer
Just to try and earn a dollar
Well I went to the boss
Said I had a date
The boss said ";No dice, son, you gotta work late";
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a'gonna do
There ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom and poppa told me
";Son you gotta earn some money,
If you want to use the car
To go out next Sunday.";

Well I didn't go to work
I told the boss I was sick
He said ";You can't use the car
'cause you didn't work a lick.";
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a'gonna do
Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues.

Gonna take two weeks
Gonna have a fine vacation
Gonna take my problems
To the United Nations
Well I went to my congressman
He said, quote: ";I'd like to help you son,
But you're too young to vote.";
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a'gonna do
Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues.
