Let's go
Well I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler
About a-workin all summer just to try and earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby, try to get a date
My boss says, "No dice, son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
Cuz there ain't no cure for them summertime blues
Well my mom and papa told me, "Son, you gotta make some money
If you want to use that car to go a-ridin out Sunday"
Well I didn't go to work, I told my boss I was sick
"Now you can't use the car cuz you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
Cuz there ain't no cure for them summertime blues
I gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I gonna take my troubles to them 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 a-gonna do
Cuz there ain't no cure for them summertime blues, no cure baby, whoa
Well I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler
About a-workin all summer just to try and earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby, try to get a date
My boss says, "No dice, son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
Cuz there ain't no cure for them summertime blues
Well my mom and papa told me, "Son, you gotta make some money
If you want to use that car to go a-ridin out Sunday"
Well I didn't go to work, I told my boss I was sick
"Now you can't use the car cuz you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
Cuz there ain't no cure for them summertime blues
I gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I gonna take my troubles to them 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 a-gonna do
Cuz there ain't no cure for them summertime blues, no cure baby, whoa
