I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well, my mom and pop told me, "Son, you gotta make some money"
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
I'd like to help you, son, but you're too young to vote"
I'm gonna take the weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
Sometimes, I wonder what I'm a gonna do
If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday
Well, I called my congressman and he said, "Whoa
Well you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick
Well, I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
Sometimes, I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
My boss says, "No dice, son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes, I wonder what I'm a gonna do
Every time I call my baby and ask to get a date
