Well I’m gonna raise a fuss I’m gonna raise a holler, Working all summer just to earn a dollar.
Every time I call my baby, try to get a date The boss says, “No dice son you got to work late” Sometimes I wonder what I’m a gonna do, But there aint no cure for the summertime blues.
Well my mama and papa told me 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 my boss I got sick “No you can’t use the car cause you didn’t work late!” Sometimes I wonder what I’m a gonna do, But there aint no cure for the summertime blues.
