On the South Side of Chicago
is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there
you better beware of a
man named Leroy Brown
Now Leroy wanted trouble,
you see he stood about sixty -four
All the downtown ladies
call him treetop lover
The man just to call him sir
And he's a bad, bad Leroy Brown
Baddest man in the whole downtown
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than the junkyard dogs
Now Leroy, he's a gambler,
and he likes his fancy clothes
And he likes to wear his diamond ring
under everybody's nose
He got a custom continental
and an El Dorado too
A .32 gun in his pocket for fun,
he got a razor in his shoe
And he bang, bang,
Leroy drowns
Baddest cat in the whole downtown
Better than Okincon
Neater than a junkyard dog
Well Friday about a week ago
Leroy shootin' dice
And at the edge of the park
a girl named Doris
And who's that girl of night?
Well, he cast his eyes upon her,
and the trouble soon began
Leroy Brown learned a lesson about
messin' with the wife of a jealous man
Hey babe, Leroy Brown,
baddest cat in the whole town town
Badder than old King Kong,
meaner than the junkyard dog
Well, two men took to fightin'
An d 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
Baddest cat in the whole damn town
Badder than an old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown
Baddest cat in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog
