Along the south side of Chicago is the baddest part of town
|
And if you go down there you better beware of a cat man Leroy Brown
|
Now Leroy more than trouble you see he stand bout six foot four
|
All the downtown ladies call him Treetop Lover and the gentlemen call him sir
|
He's bad bad Leroy Brown... Leroy Brown the meanest man the whole damn town
|
meaner than old King Kong and meaner than a junkyard dog
|
|
Now Leroy he's a gamblin' man he likes his fancy clothes
|
He like to wave his diamond rings in front of everybody's nose
|
He got a custom continental and a Eldorado too
|
He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun he got a razor in his shoe
|
He's bad bad Leroy Brown...
|
|
Well Friday bout a week ago Leroy was shootin' dice
|
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl name Betty and ooh that girl looked nice
|
Well he cast his eyes upon her and the trouble soon began
|
Ol' Leroy learned a lot about foolin' with the wife of a jealous man
|
He's bad bad Leroy Brown...
|
|
Well the two men took to fightin' and when they pulled them from the floor
|
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone
|
He's bad bad Leroy Brown...
|
He's bad bad Leroy Brown...
