I've Gotta New Car / Framed

Troyce Key

    Continues after the ad

    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
