Album – Surfin’ Safari – #32 on BB Hot 200
on CAPITOL Records in 1962.
(Acoustic guitar version.)INTRO: E..E A B E..E A B E
#1.
Well, 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, and ask 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.
#2.
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.
#3.
I’m gonna take the 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
E…
cure for the summertime blues.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
