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 NAME OF LEROY BROWN
NOW LEROY MORE THAN TROUBLE, YOU SEE HE STAND ABOUT SIX FOOT FOUR B7
ALL THE DOWNTOWN LADIES CALL HIM TREETOP LOVER
D7 G ALL THE MEN JUST CALL HIM SIR
AND HE’S BAD, BAD LEROY BROWN
THE BADDEST MAN IN THE WHOLE DAMN TOWN B7 C
BADDER THAN OL’ KING KONG
| | MEANER THAN 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 AN EL DORADO TOO B7 C
HE GOT A .32 GUN IN HIS POCKET FOR FUN
AND A RAZOR IN HIS SHOE (CHORUS)
WELL, FRIDAY ABOUT A WEEK AGO, LEROY’S SHOOTIN’ DICE
AND AT THE EDGE OF THE BAR SAT A GIRL NAME OF DORIS
D7 G AND OH THAT GIRL LOOK NICE
WELL, HE CAST HIS EYES UPON HER AND THE TROUBLE SOON BEGAN
AND LEROY BROWN LEARNED A LESSON ‘BOUT MESSIN’ D7 G
WITH THE WIFE OF A JEALOUS MAN (CHORUS)
WELL, THE TWO MEN TOOK TO FIGHTING
AND WHEN THEY PULLED THEM FROM THE FLOOR B7 C
LEROY LOOKED LIKE A JIGSAW PUZZLE
WITH A COUPLE OF PIECES GONE (CHORUS 2X)
