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.

And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man
In the whole downtown
Badder than old King Kong
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.

And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man
In the whole downtown
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog

Well, Friday, bout a week ago
Leroy shooting 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, he learned a lesson
Bout messing with the wife
Of a jealous man.

And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man
In the whole downtown
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog

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.

And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man
In the whole downtown
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog

And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man
In the whole downtown
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog

Yeah, he was badder
Than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog.
