Eddie Cochran – Summertime Blues: Lyrics and Music Video

Summertime Blues Lyrics

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, try 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 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, told the boss i was sick
“you can’t use the car ‘cuz you didn’t work a lick”
Sometimes i wonder what l’m-a gonna do
But there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues

Gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
L’m gonna take my problem through the united nations
I called up my congressman and he said, quote,
“i’d love to help you son, but you’re too young to vote”
Sometimes i wonder what l’m-a gonna do
But there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues.
