About 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

 I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a vacation
 I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nation
 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 gonna raise a holler
 About workin' all summer just to try an' earn a dollar
 Sometimes I wonder what I'm 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
