Lyrics
Well, I'm gonna raise a fuss
Expressing frustration; planning to make a commotion
I'm gonna raise a holler
Intensifying the declaration of causing a disturbance
About a working all summer
Complaining about working throughout summer
Just to try to earn a dollar
Working hard to earn money
Well, time I called my baby
Planning to contact romantic partner
Try to get a date
Attempting to arrange a meeting
My boss says, no dice son
Employer refuses permission
You gotta work late
Required to work late by boss
Sometimes I wonder
Contemplating future actions
What I'm a gonna do
Uncertain about the solution
But there ain't no cure
Realization that there's no remedy
For the summertime blues
There's no solution for the frustration of summertime difficulties
Oh, well my Mom and Poppa told me, son
Parents advised the importance of earning money
You gotta make some money
Highlighting the necessity of income for privileges
If you want to use the car
Earning money is necessary to use the car
To go ridin' next Sunday
Wanting to go for a ride but unable due to work
Well I didn't go to work
Skipped work, pretended to be ill
Told the boss I was sick
Provided a false excuse to the employer
Well you can't use the car
Denied car usage due to absence from work
Cause you didn't work a lick
Consequence of not working reflected in car privilege denial
Sometimes I wonder
Continued contemplation about the situation
What I'm a gonna do
Still unsure about the resolution
But there ain't no cure
Reiterating the absence of a solution
For the summertime blues
No remedy exists for the frustration faced in summer
I'm gonna take two weeks
Planning a two-week break
Gonna have a fine vacation
Looking forward to an enjoyable vacation
I'm gonna take my problem
Thinking about discussing the issue at a global level
To the United Nations
Consideration of taking the problem to an international organization
Well I called my congressman
Seeking help from a governmental representative
And he said, whoa
Response indicating inability to assist due to age
I'd like to help you son
Expressing willingness to support but unable due to age restriction
But you're too young to vote
Being too young to partake in voting
Sometimes I wonder
Still pondering over potential solutions
What I'm a gonna do
Unsure about how to resolve the issue
But there ain't no cure
Emphasizing the absence of any solution
For the summertime blues
No solution exists for the problems faced in summertime
