Paroles de Summertime Blues

I'm gonna raise a fuss

I'm gonna raise a holler

About working all summer
Just to try to earn a dollar

Everytime I call my baby

Try to get a date

My boy says, "No, dice, son

You gotta work late"



Sometime I wonder

What am I gonnna do

But there ain't no cure

For the summertime blues
Son you got to make some money

If you wanna use the car to go

Riding 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"



Sometime I wonder

What am I gonnna do

But there ain't no cure

For the summertime blues



I'm gonna take two weeks

Gonna have a fine vacation

I'm gonna take my problem

To the United Nations

Well, I called up my congressman

And he sent a note

"I'd like to help you, son

But you're too young to vote"



Sometime I wonder

What am I gonnna do

But there ain't no cure

For the summertime blues
