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 framed

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 pidgeon walked in and says' That's your man'

I was framed,framed,I was blamed oh,framed,framed,framed

Well, I never knew nothin 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 oh framed,I was blamed oh,framed,framed,framed well,

I never knew nothin,but I always get framed

Oh framed,oh framed
