I'm a gonna raise a fuss I'm a-gonna raise a holler[Bb] [C7] [F]

About a-workin' all summer just a-trying to earn a dollar[Bb] [C7] [F]

Every [Bb]time I call my baby, try to get a date

The boss says [F]"No dice son you gotta work a-late"

Some[Bb]times I wonder what I'm a gonna do

But there [F]ain't no cure for the [C7]Summertime [F]Blues [Bb] [C7] [F]

{c:repeat Intro riff}

Well my Mom and Pappa told me "Son you gotta earn some money

If you wanna use the car to go a riding next Sunday"

Well I didn't got to work told the boss I was sick

"Now you can't use the car cause you didn't work a lick"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do

But there ain't no cure for the Summertime Blues

{c:repeat Intro riff}

It's gonna take two weeks for I have my vacation,

I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations.

Well I told my congress man and he said, quote:

"I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do,

But there ain't no cure for the Summertime Blues.
