Well I´m a-gonna raise a fuss, I´m a-gonna raise a holler
About a-workin´ all summer just to try an´ earn a dollar
Everytime I call my baby, to try to get a date

My boss says, "No dice, son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I´m gonna do
Cause there ain´t no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom ´n´ papa told me, "Son, you gotta make some money"
"If you wanna use the car to go ridin´ next Sunday"
Well, I didn´t go to work, told the boss I was sick
"Now you can´t use the car ´cause you didn´t work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I´m gonna do
Cause there ain´t no cure for the summertime blues

[key change]

I´m gonna take two weeks, gonna have a vacation
I´m gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well, I called my congressman and he said quote,
"I´d like to help you son, but you´re too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I´m gonna do
Cause there ain´t no cure for the summertime blues

Well I´m a-gonna raise a fuss, I´m a-gonna raise a holler
About workin´ all summer just to try an´ earn a dollar
Sometimes I wonder what I´m a-gonna do
Cause there ain´t no cure for the summertime blues

Yeah, sometimes I wonder what I´m gonna do

Cause there ain´t no cure for the summertime blues
No there ain´t no cure for the summertime blues
