Canned Heat - Framed lyrics

Leiber-Stoller Well I was walkin' down the street Mindin' my own affairs When two policemen come up from behind And grab me unawares They said "You big bad Burton Cummings?" I said "Why sure!" They said "You're the cat we been lookin' for!" Well, I was framed. Framed, framed, framed I was blamed Framed, framed, framed Well I never do nothin' But I always get framed Well they took me to the lineup And let those bright lights shine There were 6 poor souls like me Standin' up there in that line The judge got a witness And got her way up on the witness stand A woman jump up, start screamin' "That's your man!" I was framed. Framed, framed, framed I was blamed Framed, framed, framed Well I never do nothin' But I always get framed Well the prosecutin' attorney started prosecutin' me Man, I mean that cat let loose and gave me the third degree He says "Where were you on the night of July 16th, 1963?" I said "I was cruisin'... just my sweetie and me..." I was framed. Framed, framed, framed I was blamed Framed, framed, framed Well I never do nothin' But I always get framed I get framed I get set up With circumstantial evidence Innocent bystander, stand by me I'm gon' need you
