01-SUMMERTIME BLUES – Mi M
Eddie Cochran
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
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
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 congress
man 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 cure for the summertime bluesC'mon everybody let's get together tonight
I got some money in my jeans
and I'm really gonna spend it right
Been a-doin' my homework all week long
The house is empty, the folks are gone
Oooh C'mon everybody
Well my baby's number one
but I'm gonna dance with three or four
And the house'll be shakin'
from my bare feet slappin' thefloor
When you hear that music you can't sit still
If your brother won't rock you then your sister will
Oooh C'mon everybody
Now there are
three steps to heaven
(three steps to heaven, three steps to heaven, oh)
Just listen
and you will plainly see
(three steps to heaven, three steps to heaven, oh)
And as life travels on
And things do go wrong
Just follow steps one, two and three
(three steps to heaven, three steps to heaven)
Step one,
you find a girl to love
Step two,
she falls in love with you
Step three,
you kiss and hold her tightly
Yeah, that sure seems
like heaven to me
(three steps to heaven, three steps to heaven, oh)
The formula
for heaven's very simple
(three steps to heaven, three steps to heaven, oh)
Just follow
the rules and you will see
(three steps to heaven, three steps to heaven, oh)
And as life travels on
And things do go wrong
Just follow
steps one, two and three
(three steps to heaven, three steps to heaven, oh)
Step one,
you find a girl to love
Step two,
she falls in love with you
Step three,
you kiss and hold her tightly
Yeah, that sure seems like heaven to me
(three steps to heaven, three steps to heaven, oh)
Just follow
steps one, two and three
(three steps to heaven, three steps to heaven, oh)
