(Eddie Cochran and Capehart)

Well Lord I got to raise a fuss, Lord I got to raise a holler

Well I been working all summer just to try and earn a dollar

Well Lord I tried to call my baby, I tried to get a date......





Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do

Lord there ain't no cure for the summertime blues





You know my mom and papa told me, "Son you gotta make some money"

(Of course I do. I should, I work like a dog)

"Well if you wanna to use the car go riding next Sunday"

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

He said......





Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do

Lord there ain't no cure for the summertime blues





I gotta take three weeks, I gotta have a fun vacation

I gotta take my problem to the United Nations

I done told my congressman and he said quote

"Dig this, boy......"





Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do

Lord there ain't no cure for the summertime blues





OW!





I'd like to take my three weeks, I need to take a fun vacation

I'd like to take my problem to the United Nation

I tried to lay my congressman and he said quote......





Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do

Lord there ain't no cure for the summertime blues





Whoa no, there ain't no cure.

You got to live with this for the rest of your life!
