Bad, Bad Leroy Brown lyrics

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 named Leroy Brown.
 
Now Leroy, more than trouble.
You see, he stand about six foot four.
All the downtown ladies call him "Treetop Lover".
All the men just call him "Sir".
 
And he'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 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 32 gun in his pocket for fun.
He got a razor in his shoe.
 
And he'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, Friday, 'bout a week ago,
Leroy shooting dice
and at the edge of the bar sat a girl named Doris
and, ooh, that girl looked nice.
 
Well, he cast his eyes upon her
and the trouble soon began.
And Leroy Brown, he learned a lesson about messing
with the wife of a jealous man.
 
And he'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 from the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
with a couple of pieces gone.
 
And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown,
the baddest man in the whole damned town,
badder than old King Kong
and meaner than a junkyard dog.
 
And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown,
the baddest man in the whole damned town,
badder than old King Kong,
and meaner than a junkyard dog.
Yeah, he were badder than old King Kong
and meaner than a junkyard dog.
