Summertime Blues Lyrics - Singles - Eddie Cochran

I'm gonna raise a fuss 

I'm gonna raise a holler 

About 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 and 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 I'm-a gonna do 

But there ain't no cure 

For the summertime blues

I'm gonna take two weeks 

Gonna have a fine vacation 

I'm gonna take my problem 

To the United Nations 

Well, I called my congressman 

And 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
