Blue Cheer Summertime Blues Lyrics

Summertime Blues Lyrics

Summertime Blues
Eddie Cochran
E. Cochran/J. Capeheart

I'm gonna
raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler
About a workin' all summer just to
try to earn a dollar
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
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom
and pop 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 a lick"
Sometimes
I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime
blues

I'm gonna take the weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna
take my problem to the United Nations
Well I called my congressman and he
said "Whoa!"
"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
