There ain't no cure for the summertime blues 
 
Well, my mom and poppa told me, "son, you gotta earn some money 
If you wanna use the car to go riding next sunday." 
Well I wouldn't go to work, I told the boss I was sick 
He said, "you can't use the car cause you didn't work a lick." 
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do 
Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
