I've Gotta New Car / Framed

I'm sitting in this nightclub behind port wine glass

Brand new car outside, and not a drop of gass

Nothing down and about three years to pay

Sounded like a pretty good deal, the other day

I got a new car, I got a new car

I got a new car, but I'm as broke as I can be

Ever since I wrote on that little black dotted line

I haven't been able to sufficiently dine

Toothpicks and soup ain't much of a meal

And 244 dollars a month ain't much of a deal

I got a new car, I got a new car

I got a new car, but I'm as broke as I can be

I've had my car now, let me see, just been about a little over a week

And already that thing's beginning to shake and rattle and squeak

What little money I do runs across

Goes in my gastank and out my exhaust

I got a new car, I got a new car

I got a new car, but I'm as broke as I can be

You know the man come and take my pretty car back

(Why?)

Well, my old lady tried to tell me not to get a brand new Cadillac

Next time I buy a car, I'm gonna buy one I can afford

And when I say afford, I mean a Ford

I got a new car, I got a new car

I got a new car, but I'm as broke as I can be

I was walking down broadway, minding my own affair

When two great big policemen grabbed me unaware

Is your name Troyce Henry Key? And I said, why sure

Say, you're the big mother we've been looking for

Framed! I was framed

I never do nothing wrong

But I always get blamed

Took me down town over where the bright light shine

(I've been there before)

There was ten poor souls like me, standing in that line

I knew I was a victim of someone's evil plan

When a strange little dude walked in and said: that's the man!

Framed! I was framed

I never do nothing wrong

But I always get blamed

The prosecutor attorney started a-prosecuting me

That little ugly sucker gave me the third degree

He said, where was you on about a June 29

I says, I was at JJ's, the other fool in this line

Framed! I was framed

I never do nothing wrong

But I always get blamed

I denied the charges of robbing a liquor store

Denied the charges of carrying a little pearl handed handy .44

I denied the charges of vagrancy too

But when the judge came down, poured whisky on my head

Turned around to the jury and said convict this man

He's drunk! What can I do?

Framed! I was framed

I never do nothing wrong

But I always get blamed
