Summertime Blues

Eddie Cochran / Jerry Capehart

Well I'm a gonna raise a fuss
I'm a gonna raise a holler
About working all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Every time i call my baby trying to get a date
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 popa told me
Son you gotta make some money
If you want to use the car to go a-riding 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

Gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
Gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well I called my congress man and he said quote
"I would like to help you son but your to young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

I say: there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
