Well the South Side of Chicago is the baddest part of town,
And if you go down there you better just beware
Of a man named Leroy Brown.
Now Leroy's, more than trouble, you see he stands about 6 foot
4
All the downtown ladies call him "treetop lover,"
All the men just call him "sir."
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,
The baddest man in the whole damned town,
Badder than old King Kong, and meaner than a junkyard dog.
Now Leroy, he's a gambler and he likes his fancy clothes,
And he likes to wave his diamond rings
In front of everybody's nose.
He got a custom Continental, he got a El Dorado, too,
He got a thirty two gun in his pocket for fun,
He got a razor in his shoe.
(Chorus)
Well, Friday 'bout a week ago, Leroy shooting dice
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl named Doris,
And, oh, that girl looked nice.
Well, he cast his eyes upon her, and the trouble soon began,
And Leroy Brown he learned a lesson 'bout messing
With the wife of a jealous man.
(Chorus)
Well, the two men took to fighting
And when they pulled them from the floor,
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone.
(Chorus)
Yes, you were badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
