Lyrics:

Leiber-StollerWell I was walkin'' down the streetMindin'' my own affairsWhen two policemen come up from behindAnd grab me unawaresThey 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 blamedFramed, framed, framedWell I never do nothin''But I always get framedWell they took me to the lineupAnd let those bright lights shineThere were 6 poor souls like meStandin'' up there in that lineThe judge got a witnessAnd got her way up on the witness standA woman jump up, start screamin''''That''s your man!''I was framed.Framed, framed, framed I was blamedFramed, framed, framedWell I never do nothin''But I always get framedWell the prosecutin'' attorney started prosecutin'' meMan, I mean that cat let loose and gave me the third degreeHe 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 blamedFramed, framed, framedWell I never do nothin''But I always get framedI get framedI get set upWith circumstantial evidenceInnocent bystander, stand by meI''m gon'' need youMetroLyrics
