The shoe-shine was cool |
|
He'd sussed out the scene |
|
Scratch was nobody's fool |
|
He'd always come clean |
|
If this was a frame-up |
|
Who built the frame? |
|
Was this the big pay-off |
|
Or some crapulous game |
|
I know you think I'm going thru' it |
|
But babe don't weep |
|
I didn't do it |
|
The light was dim, I never knew it's a sin |
|
To drink cold tea |
|
That pig he was rough |
|
Trailed us right round the block |
|
Enid stashed all her stuff |
|
Behind the grandfather clock |
|
If this was the show-down |
|
Who wrote the show? |
|
Was he the big con-man |
|
Or some cadaverous crow |
|
I know you think I'm going thru' it |
|
But babe don't weep |
|
I didn't do it |
|
The light was dim, I never knew it's a sin |
|
To drink cold tea |
