Song | Bad Bad Leroy Brown |
Artist | Jim Croce |
Album | Billboard #1 Hits of the '70s |
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 ‘bout six foot four | |
All those 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 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 | |
Under everybody's nose | |
He got a custom Continental | |
He got an Eldorado too | |
He got a 32 gun in his pocket full a fun | |
He got a razor in his shoe | |
And he's 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 oh that girl looked nice | |
Well he cast his eyes upon her | |
And the trouble soon began | |
And Leroy Brown had learned a lesson | |
'Bout a-messin' with the wife of a jealous man | |
And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown | |
The baddest man in the whole damn town | |
Badder than a-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 it's bad, bad Leroy Brown | |
The baddest man in the whole damn 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 damn town | |
Badder than old King Kong | |
And meaner than a junkyard dog | |
Yeah he was badder than old King Kong | |
And meaner than a junkyard dog. |
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 ' bout six foot four | |
All those 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 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 | |
Under everybody' s nose | |
He got a custom Continental | |

He got a 32 gun in his pocket full a fun | |
He got a razor in his shoe | |
And he' s bad, bad Leroy Brown | |
The baddest man in the whole damn town | |
Badder than old King Kong | |
