I´m-a gonna raise a fuss,
I´m-a gonna raise a holler,
´Bout a-workin´ all summer just-a tryin´a earn a dollar,

Told my congressman and he said "Well,
I´d like to help ya son,
But you´re too young to vote,"
Sometimes I wonder,
What I´m-a gonna do,
For there ain´t no cure for the summertime blues,
One two three four,

I´m-a gonna raise a fuss,
I´m-a gonna raise a holler,
´Bout a-workin´ all summer just-a tryin´a earn a dollar,

Now I told my congressman and he said "Well,
I´d like to help ya son,
But (something)"
Sometimes I wonder,
What I´m-a gonna do,
(something).
