Lyrics:
The shoe-shine was coolHe'd sussed out the sceneScratch was nobody's foolHe'd always come cleanIf this was a frame-upWho built the frame?Was this the big pay-offOr some crapulous gameI know you think I'm going thru' itBut babe don't weepI didn't do itThe light was dim, I never knew it's a sinTo drink cold teaThat pig he was roughTrailed us right round the blockEnid stashed all her stuffBehind the grandfather clockIf this was the show-downWho wrote the show?Was he the big con-manOr some cadaverous crowI know you think I'm going thru' itBut babe don't weepI didn't do itThe light was dim, I never knew it's a sinTo drink cold tea
