'Cause there ain’t no cure for the summertime booze

Ain't no cooler for my summertime booze

I'd like to help you, son
But you're too young to know.
I'd like to help you, son
But you're too young to vote.
I'm a Puerto Rican bus
I'm a Puerto Rican father.
I'm a gonna raise a fuss
I'm a gonna raise a holler.
I'm gonna take two weeks for my ever-planned vacation
I'm gonna take my pop-pop to the United Nations
I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Sometimes I wonder what else there is to do
'Cause I've got my baby for a m-m-Malibu.
Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do
'Cuz there ain't no cure for the summertime blues.
Summertime booze
Summertime blues
Well I called my congressman and he said WHOA!
I'd like to help ya son but you're too young to go.
Well I called my congressman and he said quote:
I'd like to help ya son, but you're too young to vote.
Well I'm a goner as a bus
I'm a goner as a holler.
Well I'm a gonna raise a fuss
I'm a gonna raise a holler.
You can't use the car 'cause you didn't work on it
