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 name of Leroy Brown

Now Leroy more than trouble You see he stand about six feet four All the downtown ladies call him: "treetop lover" All the mens just call him Sir

He's bad, bad Leroy Brown Baddest man in the whole damn town Badder than old King Kong Meaner than a junkyard dog

Now Leroy he a gambler And he like his fancy clothes He like to wave his diamond ring(s) 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

Yeah He's bad, bad Leroy Brown Baddest man in the whole damn town Badder that old King Kong And Meaner that a junkyard dog

Well Friday - 'bout a week ago Leroy shootin' dice And at the edge of the bar, sat a girl name of Doris And ooh that girl looked nice

Well he laid his eyes upon her And the trouble soon began And Leroy Brown he learned a lesson 'bout messin' With the wife of a jealous man

Yeah He's bad, bad Leroy Brown Baddest man in the whole damn 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

Yeah He's bad, bad Leroy Brown Baddest man in the whole damn town Badder than old King Kong And Meaner than a junkyard dog
