Well, I'm gonna raise a fuss
Yes, I'm gonna raise a holler
About working all summer
Just to try To earn a dollar
Well, I went to the boss man
Tryin' to get a break

Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
Cause 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 ridin' next Sunday"

Well, I wouldn't go to work
Told the boss I was sick

Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

I'm gonna take two weeks
I'm gonna have a fine vacation
Gonna take my problems
To the United Nations
Well, I went to my congressman
And ee said, quote

Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
