Olivia Newton John - Summertime Blues lyrics

rate me

(Eddie Cochran)

Well I'm gonna raise a fuss and I'm gonna raise a holler

I've been working all summer just to try to earn a dollar

Well the time will come when baby, I try to get a date

My boss says ["No dice, girl, 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 brother told me girl you gotta make some money

If you want to use the car to go riding next Sunday

Well I didn't go to work--I told the boss I was sick

[You can't use the car cause you didn't work late.]

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

Gonna take my problem to the United Nations

Well I called the congressman and he said quote

["I'd like to help you honey but you're too young to vote."]

Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do

And there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Ain't no cure

No no
