Well the Southside 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
|
All the downtown ladies call him "Treetop Lover"
|
All the men just call him "Sir"
|
|
And it'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 a gambler
|
And he like his fancy clothes
|
And he like to wave his diamond rings
|
In front of everybody's nose
|
He got a custom Continental
|
He got an Eldorado too
|
He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun
|
He got a razor in his shoe
|
|
And it'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 Friday 'bout a week ago
|
Leroy shootin' dice
|
And at the edge of the bar
|
Sat a girl named Doris
|
And oo that girl looked nice
|
Well he cast his eyes upon her
|
And the trouble soon began
|
'Cause Leroy Brown learned a lesson
|
'Bout messin' with the wife of a jealous man
|
|
And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
|
The baddest man in the whole damned town
|
Badder than old King Kong
|
And meaner than a junkyard dog
|
|
Well the two men took to fighting
|
And when they pulled them off the floor
|
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
|
With a couple of pieces gone
|
