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

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.
