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 wanted trouble,
you see he stood about six foot four
All the downtown ladies
call him treetop lover,
all the men just call him sir
And he bet, bet that 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
And he like to wear his diamond rings
under everybody's nose
He got a custom Continental,
he got a Eldorado too
He got a .32 gun in his pocket for fun,
he got a razor in his shoe
And he bet, bet, bet, bet Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the
whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog
Well Friday, about a week ago
Leroy was shootin' dice
An d at the edge of the park
sat a girl named Doris
And ooh, that girl looked nice
Well, they cast his eyes upon her
and the trouble soon began
Leroy Brown learned a
lesson by the messin'
with the wife of a jealous man
And he beat, beat, beat,
beat Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog
Well, the two men took to fightin'
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 damn town
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog
And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
Baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog
Yeah, he's badder
than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog
