Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, the south side of Chicago, it's 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, he stood about six feet four
All the downtown ladies call him treetop lover
All the studs, they call him sir
[Verse 2]
And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
[Verse 3]
Now Leroy, he a gambler, and he like his fancy clothes
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 thirty two gun in his pocket for fun, he got a razor in his shoe
[Verse 4]
Yeah, he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
And he's meaner than a junkyard dog
[Verse 5]
Well, Friday, 'bout a week ago, Leroy shootin' dice
And at the edge of the bar, sat a lady named Dorris
And, mmm, she sure looked nice
Well, he layed his eyes upon her, and the trouble soon begun
And Leroy Brown, he learned a lesson 'bout messin'
With the wife of a jealous man
[Verse 6]
Yeah, he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
[Verse 7]
He's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
A badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog
[Verse 8]
Yeah, he's badder than old King Kong
Badder than a junkyard dog
[Verse 9]
