Verse 2:

Well my mom and papa told me, "Son you gotta make some money, 
If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday" 
Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick 
"Well you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work late" 
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do 
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues 

Verse 3:

I'm gonna take two weeks, I'm gonna have a fun vacation 
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nation 
Well I called my congressman and he said Quote: 
"I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote" 
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do 
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Enjoy!
