BAD BAD LEROY BROWN
Words and music by Jim Croce
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 about six foot four
All the downtown ladies call him treetop lover
All the men just call him sir
CHORUS:
And he bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned 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
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
(CHORUS)
Now Friday 'bout a week ago
Leroy shootin' dice
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl name Doris
And oo, 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 fighting
And when they pulled them from the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone.
(CHORUS)
