Summertime Blues

Eddie Cochran Eddie Cochran

I'm gonna raise a fuss
I'm gonna raise a holler
A-but-a workin' all summer
Just-a trying to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby
And ask her to date
My boss says: Uh duh 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 mama papa told me
Son, you gotta make some money
If you wanna use the car
To go ridin' next Sunday
Well, I didn't go to work
So my pa said I was sick
You can't use the car
'Cuz 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

Gonna take two weeks
Gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem
Through the United Nations
I called up my congressman
And he said
I'd like to help you Sonny
But you're too young to vote
Sometimes I wonder what I'm-a gonna do
But there ain't no cure
For the summertimes blues
