(lyrics by Michael Sadler)

Early morning instrusion

The accusations spelt conclusions

I'd been under suspicion

Now my fate was their decision

That's why they took me away

Midnight courtroom confusion

The sentence of guaranteed seclusion

(no more Ernie Bilko)

Next day found me in isolation

Working on my rehabilitation

I've been framed

Have you no shame?

Yes, but I've been framed ... again!

I've been framed

No, you're to blame

No! I've been framed .. again!

I've been framed

You're taking the blame

Yes, but I've been framed ... again!

I've been framed

No, you're to blame

No! I've been framed ... again!

Two weeks later I saw the daylight

No way of knowing who to credit

(for the education)

Confused and anxious, I started walking

Next time I'll watch just who I'm talking to

I'd been framed

Had you no shame?

Yes, but I'd been framed ... again!

I'd been framed

No, you're to blame

No! I'd been framed .. again!

I'd been framed

You took the blame

Yes, but I'd been framed ... again!

I'd been framed

No, you're to blame

No! I'd been framed ... again!

I'd been framed

I'd been framed, again!

I'd been framed

I'd been framed, again!
