Summertime Blues - Cochran, Eddie

I'm gonna raise the alarm, I'm gonna raise the holler
I've been working all summer just to try and earn a dollar
Every time I come up, they say, "It's your last chance, mate
You've passed the exam, so you'd better work late"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well, my mama and papa told me, "Son, you've got to make some money
If you wanna use the bathroom, write me a song, mate"
Well, I said, "Don't you worry, 'cause I'm not gonna sing
You can use the car, 'cause you're paying all the rent"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm 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 brother to the United Nation
Every time I come up, the doctor says, "He's in love
I'd like to help you, son, but you're too young to work"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm 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 brother to the United Nation
Every time I come up, the doctor says, "He's in love
I'd like to help you, son, but you're too young to work"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
