Summertime Blues Lyrics - The Flying Lizards - The Flying Lizards

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 

Well, my mom 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 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
