Jim Croce Bad Bad Leroy Brown
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 men just call him "Sir"
(chorus)
And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in
the whole damn town
Badder than ol' 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
on 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
(chorus)
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
Leroy Brown learned a lesson
'bout messin' with the
wife of a jealous man
(chorus)
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
(chorus 2x)
Yes he's badder than
ol' King Kong
And meaner than a
junk yard dog
