I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler
About a-workin' all summer just to try 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
About a-workin' all summer just to try 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 pop told me, "son, you gotta make some money"
If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday
Well, I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
"Well, 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
If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday
Well, I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
"Well, 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 "whoa!"
"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
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well, I called my congressman and he said "whoa!"
"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

I am out of the loop on this artist...totally.
ReplyDeleteMost of the songs that I post are from the fifties.
DeleteI keep waiting for you to throw out a song or artist I don't know. So far we are batting 100%.
ReplyDeleteOK now you've given me a challenge :)
DeleteCool! They don't make 'em like that anymore.
ReplyDeleteI picked Songs that I remember fondly
DeleteCatchy and fun.
ReplyDeleteThe last stanza always makes me laugh.
DeleteI do appreciate this one--- there are parts I've never been able to understand from the time it first came out!
ReplyDeleteI try to sing along with my favorite artists but they never get the words right:-)
DeleteI like the cover version by Blue Cheer from the late 60's, but the original had quite a bit of funkiness to it.
ReplyDeleteI will look for that version. Never heard of Blue Cheer.
DeleteI love love love just about everything Eddie Cochran recorded.
