Summertime Blues (Studio Version)

I'm a-gonna raise a holler

About a-workin' all summer

Just to try to earn a dollar

Try'na get a date

My boss says "No dice son

You gotta work a-late "

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do

There ain't no cure for this summertime blues

Well my mom 'n' poppa told me

"Son you gotta earn 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

'Cos you didn't work a lick "

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do

There ain't no cure for this summertime blues

Well I'm gonna take two weeks

Gonna have a fine vacation

I'm gonna take my problem

To the United Nations

Well I called my congress man

And he said - quote -

"I'd like to help ya son

But ya're too young to vote"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do

There ain't no cure for this summertime blues
