Summertime Blues Lyrics By Eddie Cochran

    i’m agonna raise a fuss
    i’m agonna raise a holler
    about workin’ all summer
    justa 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 agonna 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 aridin’ next sunday

    well i didn’t go to work
    told the boss i was sick
    you can’t use the car
    cause you didn’t work a lick

    sometimes i wonder
    what i’m agonna 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 agonna do
    but there ain’t no cure
    for the summertime blues
