Framed

I was walkin' down the street

Mindin' my own affair

When two policemen grabbed me unaware

He says

Is your name Henry

I says Why sure

He says

You the boy I'm lookin' for

I was framed framed

I was blamed framed

Well I never knew nothing

But I always get framed

Oh framed

They took him in the lineup

And let those bright lights shine

There was ten poor souls like me in that line

I knew I was a victim of someone's evil

When a stool pigeon walked in and says

That's your man

I was framed

I was blamed

Oh framed framed framed

Well I never knew nothing

But I always get framed

Well the prosecutor turned

And started a prosecutin' me

Man that cat didn't give me

The one but the third degree

He says

Where were you on the night of July 1953

Man I was just home

Just a tweedle-a-dee

I was framed

I was blamed

Oh framed framed framed

Well I never knew nothing

But I always get framed

Oh framed
