Eddie Cochran
Summertime Blues
Let's rock it now

Well, I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby, tryna get a date
The 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 a-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, told the boss I was sick
"Now 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
Yeah

I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nation
Well, I called my congressman, 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
Yeah
I said there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Yeah
