What I'm a gonna do?
Sometimes I wonder
I'm gonna take two weeks
I'd like to help you son
You gotta work late"
Gonna have a fine vacation
And he said, “Whoa
“Son, you gotta make some money
For the summertime blues
What I'm a gonna do
'Cause you didn't work a lick
To the United Nations
Well, time I called my baby
For the summertime blues
Well, I called my congressman
I'm gonna take my problem
But there ain't no cure
But there ain't no cure
Try to get a date
About a working all summer
But you're too young to vote”
If you want to use the car
Told the boss I was sick
My boss says, "No dice, son
Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I wonder
What I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure
Well, you can't use the car
Just to try to earn a dollar
Well, I didn't go to work
Oh, well my Mom and Poppa told me
To go ridin' next Sunday”
