Eddie Cochran Summertime Blues Lyrics

Summertime Blues Lyrics

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
