The Strypes - Summertime Blues lyrics
[The Strypes - Summertime Blues lyrics]
I'm gonna raise a fuss
I'm gonna raise a holler
About a-workin' all summer just to
Try to earn a dollar
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
Cause there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues
Well, my mom and papa told me, "son
You gotta earn some money"
If you want to use the car
To go ridin' next Sunday
Well, I didn't go to work
I told the boss I was sick
"Well, you can't use the car 'cause
You didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
Cause there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues
I'm gonna take two weeks
Gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem
To the United Nations
I called my congressman and he said "whoa!"
"I'd like to help you son but
You're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
Cause there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues
I'm gonna raise a holler
About a-workin' all summer just to
Try to earn a dollar
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
Cause there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues
Well, my mom and papa told me, "son
You gotta earn some money"
If you want to use the car
To go ridin' next Sunday
Well, I didn't go to work
I told the boss I was sick
"Well, you can't use the car 'cause
You didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
Cause there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues
I'm gonna take two weeks
Gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem
To the United Nations
I called my congressman and he said "whoa!"
"I'd like to help you son but
You're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
Cause there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues
