Well, the south side of Chicago
Is the b addest part of town.
And if you g o down there
You better ju st beware of a m an name of Leroy B rown.
Now, Leroy more than trouble,
You see he s tand about 'bout six foot four.
All the d owntown ladies call him "t reetop lover."
All the m en just call him "s ir."
And he's b ad, bad, Leroy Brown,
The b addest man in the whole damn town.
B adder than old K ing Kong
And m eaner than a j unkyard dog

and he likes his fancy clothes.
And he likes to wave diamond rings
in front of everybody's nose.

He got a thirty-two gun in his pocket for fun.
He got a razor in his shoe.
And he's b ad, bad, Leroy Brown,
The b addest man in the whole damn town.

And m eaner than a j unkyard dog.
Well, Friday 'bout a week ago,
Leroy's shootin' dice.
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl name of Doris
and oh, that girl look nice
Well, he cast his eyes upon her
and the trouble soon began.
And Leroy Brown, he learned a lesson 'bout messin'
with the wife of a jealous man
And he's b ad, bad, Leroy Brown,
The b addest man in the whole damn town.
B adder than old K ing Kong
And m eaner than a j unkyard dog.

And when they p ulled them from the floor,
L eroy looked like a j igsaw puzzle with a c ouple of pieces g one.
Yes, you were badder than old King Kong
And m eaner than a j unkyard d og.
