I'm gonna raise a holler E E A B7 E
E'Bout a workin' all summer
Just to try to earn a dollar E E A B7 E
AWell time to call my baby, try to get a date
My boss says "no dice, son, you gotta work late"
ASometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there Eain't no cure for the summertime

EWell, my Mom and Poppa told me
Son, you gotta make some money E E A B7 E
EIf you wanna use the car
to go a-ridin' next Sunday E E A B7 E
EWell I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
"Now you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"
ASometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there Eain't no cure for the summertime

Gonna have a fine vacation E E A B7 E
ESometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there Eain't no cure for the summertime

EI'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations E E A B7 E
EWell I called my congressman and he said "quote"
"I'd Elike to help you, son, but you're too young to vote'
ASometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there Eain't no cure for the summertime
