Lyrics Summertime Blues (mono) - Eddie Cochran

I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-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 mom and papa told me, "Son, you gotta make some money
And if you wanna use the car to go a-ridin' next Sunday"
Well, I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
"No, 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

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
