Jim Croce - Bad, Bad Leroy Brown Lyrics

Well ole 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's more than trouble, you see he stand about 6 foot 4
All the downtown ladies call him treetop lover
All the men just call him sir

Chorus:

And its 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's a gambler, and he likes his fancy clothes
And he liked to wave his diamond rings under everybody's nose
He got a custom Continental, he got an El-Dorado too
He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun
He got a razor in his shoe

(chorus)

Well Friday but a week ago, Leroy shootin dice
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl named a Doris
And oh that girl looked nice
Well he cast his eyes upon her and the trouble soon began
And Leroy Brown learned a lesson bout a messin
with the wife of a jealous man

(chorus)

Well the 2 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 2x)

Yeah he was badder than old King Kong and meaner than a junkyard dog
