[Verse 1]
I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler
About a workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby, and ask to get a date
My boss says, "No dice son, you gotta work late"

[Refrain]
Sometimes I wonder what I'm-a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

[Verse 2]
Well my mom and pop told me, "Son you gotta make some money"
If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday
Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
"Well you can't use the car cause you didn't work a lick"

[Refrain]
Sometimes I wonder what I'm-a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna take the weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well I called my congressman and he said "Whoa!"
"I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"
[Refrain]
Sometimes I wonder what I'm-a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
