In 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, more than trouble. You see he stand bout six foot four.
And the downtown ladies call him tree top lover,
and the men just call him sir.
Chorus...
And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown. The baddest man in the whole damn town.
Badder than a ole King Kong, an 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 an Eldorado 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, shootin dice.
At the edge of the bar, sat a girl named Doris.
And ooh dat girl looked nice. Well he casts his eyes upon her,
and trouble soon began. And Leroy Brown learned a lesson,
bout messin with the wife of a jealous man.
(chorus)
Well the two men, took to fightin, and when they pulled them from the floor.
Leroy looked like a jig saw puzzle,
with a couple of pieces gone.
(chorus)
