Summertime Blues - Sylvie Vartan

I’m gonna raise a fuss, I’m gonna raise a holler

A-but a working all summer, just trying to earn a dollar

Every time I call my baby, trying to get a date

My boss says «Uh duh 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 riding next Sunday»

Well I didn’t go to work so my Pa said I was sick

«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

I’m gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation

And I’m gonna take my problem through the United Nations

I called up my congressman and he said

«I'd like to help you sonny 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
