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!

“Summertime Blues” foi co‑escrita por Eddie Cochran e seu empresário Jerry Capehart, marcando a colaboração entre artista e gestão na criação da canção.
Lançada como lado B de um single em agosto de 1958, a música alcançou a posição nº 8 na Billboard Hot 100 em 29 de setembro do mesmo ano, demonstrando seu rápido sucesso comercial.
A faixa chegou ao nº 18 nas paradas do Reino Unido, evidenciando seu apelo internacional logo após o lançamento.
Entre as inúmeras versões gravadas, a interpretação de Brian Setzer foi incluída na trilha sonora do filme de 1987 “La Bamba”, no qual o próprio Setzer interpretou Eddie Cochran.
A versão de Blue Cheer, assim como as versões dos Who e de Alan Jackson, ajudaram a perpetuar a música ao longo das décadas, mostrando sua versatilidade em gêneros que vão do rock ao country.
