Song Lyrics

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 nothin', but I always get blamed
Oh, framed

They took him in the line up and let those bright
Lights shine,there was ten poor souls like me in that line
I knew I was a victim of someones evil plan
When a stool pigeon walked in and says´ There´s your man´

I was framed,framed,I was blamed oh,framed,framed,framed
Well, I never knew nothin' but I always get blamed
Framed
(Let it go one time)

Well, the prosecuting attorney started 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 19, 1953?´
´Man I was just home just a tweedle-a-dee´

I was framed oh framed,I was blamed oh,framed,framed,framed well,
I never knew nothin', but I always get blamed
Oh framed,oh framed...

Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller
