Along the south side of Chicago is the baddest part of town

And if you go down there you better beware of a cat man Leroy Brown

Now Leroy more than trouble you see he stand bout six foot four

All the downtown ladies call him Treetop Lover and the gentlemen call him sir

He's bad bad Leroy Brown... Leroy Brown the meanest man the whole damn town

meaner than old King Kong and meaner than a junkyard dog



Now Leroy he's a gamblin' man he likes his fancy clothes

He like to wave his diamond rings in front of everybody's nose

He got a custom continental and a Eldorado too

He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun he got a razor in his shoe

He's bad bad Leroy Brown...



Well Friday bout a week ago Leroy was shootin' dice

And at the edge of the bar sat a girl name Betty and ooh that girl looked nice

Well he cast his eyes upon her and the trouble soon began

Ol' Leroy learned a lot about foolin' with the wife of a jealous man

He's bad bad Leroy Brown...



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

He's bad bad Leroy Brown...

He's bad bad Leroy Brown...
