Framed lyrics - Canned Heat

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
