--- Start Of 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 bout six foot four
All the downtown ladies call him treetop lover all the mens just call him sir

And its bad bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damn 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 everybodys 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 its bad bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old king kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Well Friday bout a week ago ... Leroy shootin 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 learned a lesson bout messin with the wife of a jealous man

And its 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 fightin ... and when they pulled them from the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone

And its bad bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old king kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
He was badder than old king kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
