Framed Lyrics


I was walkin' down the street mindin' my own affair
When two policemen grabbed me, unaware
He say, "Is your name Henry?" I says, "Why sure"
He says, "You the boy we've been lookin' for"Framed, I was framed
I never do nothin' wrong
But I always get blamed, framedThey 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 someone's evil plan
When a stool pidgeon walked in and says, "That's the man"Framed, I was framed
I never do nothin' wrong
But I always get blamed, framedWell, the prosecutor turned and started a-prosecutin' me
Man, that cat didn't give me the third degree
He says, "Where were you on the night of July 1953?"
I said I was home in bed, he says "jury, this man is lyring"Framed, I was framed
I never do nothin' wrong
But I always get blamed, framedI denied charge of robbing the liquor store
Denied the charge of carrying a forty-four
Denied the charge of vagrancy, too

But when the judge came down, poured whiskey on my head
Turned around to the jury and said "Convict this man, he a drunk," what could I do?Framed, I was framed
I never do nothin' wrong
But I always get blamed, framed, feel my painI was framed (he was blamed)
I was framed (he was blamed)
I got framed (he was blamed)

The Coasters were formed in Los Angeles, California in 1955 by Carl Gardner (tenor) and Bobby Nunn (bass) after the split of doo wop group The Robins. Their collaboration with legendary songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller gave them a unique sound that was very humorous most of the time. Their first huge hit came with "Young Blood" and "Searching." They also had success with hits such as "Yakety Yak," "Charlie Brown," and "Little Egypt."
