Every time I call my baby and ask to get a date, my boss says, no dice son, you gotta work late.

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do 'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues.

Well I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler About workin' all summer just to try an' earn a dollar Everytime I call my baby, to try to get a date My boss says, no dice, son, you gotta work late Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do 'cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues.

We'll really have a party, but we gotta put a guard outside, if the folks come home I'm afraid they gonna have my hide.
