He said, "You can't use the car
You gotta work late"
For the summertime blues
Well, I didn't go to work
What I'm gonna do
Sometimes I wonder
To the United Nation
For the summertime blues
Gonna have a fine vacation
Well, I went to the boss
The boss said, "No dice, son
If you want to use the car
Gonna take my problems
But you're too young to vote"
There ain't no cure
Just to try to earn a dollar
Well, I went to my congressman
Told the boss, "I was sick"
Sometimes I wonder
Gonna take two weeks
To go out next Sunday"
'Cause you didn't work right"
Said, "I had a date"
There ain't no cure
"Son, you gotta earn some money
He said, quote
Sometimes I wonder
Well, my mom and poppa told me
"I'd like to help you son
What I'm gonna do
There ain't no cure
What I'm gonna do
I've been workin' all summer
