Lyrics for Song: Summertime Blues
Lyrics for Album: Twenty Flight Rock [2011]
I'm gonna raise a fuss
I'm gonna raise a holler
A-but-a workin' all summer
Just-a trying to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby
Try to get a date
My boss says "No dice son
You gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder
What I'm-a gonna do
But there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues
Well my mama papa told me
"Son, you gotta make some money"
If you wanna use the car
To go ridin' next Sunday
Well, I didn't go to work
told the boss I was sick
"You can't use the car
'Cuz you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what l'm-a gonna do
But there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues
Gonna take two weeks
Gonna have a fine vacation
l'm gonna take my problem
Through the United Nations
I called up my congressman
And he said, quote,
"I'd love to help you son,
But you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what l'm-a gonna do
But there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues
