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).
