Is everybody having a good time tonight?
New Year's Eve, 1982
ย
Well, I'm gonna raise a fuss and I'm gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer just to try to make a dollar
So I went to my boss and he doubled me
He says, "No dice, Bob, you gotta work clean"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
Ain't no cure for the summertime blues
ย
Well, my mom and papa told me
"Son, you better earn some money
If one of you is gonna go ridin' next Sunday"
Well, I didn't go to work, I told my boss I was sick
He says, "You can drive a car 'cause you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
Ain't no cure for the summertime blues, ow
ย
Gonna save two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
Gonna take my problem to the United Nation
Well, I went to my congressman
He sent me back a note, it said
"Rise up your head, son, you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
Ain't no cure for the summertime blues, ow
ย
And there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
And there ain't no cure for the summertime blues, oh
Thank you, good night you guys
Have a great year
Good night
