Testo Della Canzone

Summertime Blues di Eddie Cochran

EDDIE COCHRAN
I’m a-gonna raise a fuss
I’m a-gonna raise a holler
About workin’ all summer
Just-a trying 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 mama and papa told me
“Son, you gotta make some money
If you wanna use the car
To go a-ridin’ next Sunday”

Well, I didn’t go to work
Told the boss I was sick
“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, quote:
“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

THE WHO
Well, I’m a’gonna raise a fuss
I’m a’gonna raise a holler

I’ve been working all summer
Just to try and earn a dollar

Well went to the boss
(Said girl for a date??)
The boss said “No dice, son, you gotta work late”
Sometimes I wonder what I’m a’gonna do
There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom and poppa told me
“Son you gotta earn some money
If you wanna use the car
To go ridin’ next Sunday”

Well I didn’t go to work
I told the boss I was sick
He said “You can’t use the car
‘cause you didn’t work a lick”
Sometimes I wonder what I’m a’gonna do
There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues

Gonna take two weeks
Gonna have a fine vacation

Gonna take my problem
To the United Nations

Well I went to my congressman
He said, quote: “I’d like to help you son
But you’re too young to vote”
Sometimes I wonder what I’m a’gonna do
There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues
