Tried to get a date
But you're too young to vote"
I told my boss I was sick
For the summertime blues
Well, I'm gonna raise a fuss
I'm gonna take my problem
It said, "I'd like to help you, son
What I'm gonna do?
Well, I tried to call my baby
For the summertime blues
I'm gonna have a fine vacation
You gotta work late"
Well, I called my Congressman
To the United Nations
If one of you is gotta go
I'm gonna take two weeks
You can't use the car
Just tryin' to earn a dollar
'Cause you didn't work a lick
And he said, "Quiet"
Well, my mom and Papa told me
But there ain't no cure
And I'm gonna raise a holler
Son, you gotta make some money
My boss said, "No, dice, get
Well, I didn't go to work
Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I wonder
What I'm gonna do?
But there ain't no cure
But there ain't no cure
Sometimes I wonder
About workin' all summer
Ridin' next Sunday
What I'm gonna do?
