Stray Cats - Summertime Blues


(well ILm a) gonna raise a fuss
(ILm a) gonna raise a holler
(about) working all summer
(just to) try to earn a dollar
(well the) time to go on baby trying to get a date


boss says no date son you gotta work late

sometimes I wonder what ILm a gonna do
(but there) ainLt no cure for the summertime blues



(well my) mom and popa told me
(son you) gotta make some money
(if you) want to use the car
(then go) right on next sunday
(well I) didnLt go to work told the boss I was sick

He say,
now you canLt use the car cause you didnLt work a lick

sometimes I wonder what ILm a gonna do
(but there) ainLt no cure for the summertime blues



(gonna) take two weeks (gonna) have a fine vacation
(gonna) take my problem (to the) united nations
(well I) called my congress man and he said quote


I would like to help you son but your to young to vote

sometimes I wonder what ILm a gonna do
(but there) ainLt no cure for the summertime blues
