I'm-a gonna raise a fuss,

I'm-a gonna raise a holler,

'Bout a-workin' all summer just-a tryin'a earn a dollar,



Told my congressman and he said "Well,

I'd like to help ya son,

But you're too young to vote,"

Sometimes I wonder,

What I'm-a gonna do,

For there ain't no cure for the summertime blues,

One two three four,



I'm-a gonna raise a fuss,

I'm-a gonna raise a holler,

'Bout a-workin' all summer just-a tryin'a earn a dollar,



Now I told my congressman and he said "Well,

I'd like to help ya son,

But (something)"

Sometimes I wonder,

What I'm-a gonna do,

(something).
