Now 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 he's trouble
And he stands about six feet four
All the downtown ladies call him: "treetop lover"
All the men just call him Sir
(Yeah) He's bad, bad Leroy Brown
Meanest (baddest) man (cat) in the whole d*mn town
Badder that old King Kong
(And( (He's) Meaner that a junkyard dog
Now Leroy he's a gambler
And he likes (digs) his (those) fancy clothes
He likes to wave his (that) (great big / big fat) (shinny) diamond ring(s)
Under (In front of) everybody's nose
He's got a custom Continental
He's got an Eldorado too
He's got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun
He's got a razor in his (the razor in the) shoe
(Yeah) He's bad, bad Leroy Brown
baddest man in the whole d*mn town
Badder that old King Kong
And Meaner that a junkyard dog
Now Friday - 'bout a week ago
Leroy shootin' dice
And at the edge of the bar, sat a girl named Doris
Man she sure looked nice
And (Well/Then) he layed his eyes upon her
That's when the big scene (trouble soon) began
And Leroy Brown he learned a lesson 'bout messin'
With the wife of a jealous man
(Yeah) He's bad, bad Leroy Brown
baddest man in the whole d*mn town
Badder that old King Kong
(And) Meaner that a junkyard dog
When the two men took a fighting
and they pulled them form the floorleroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
with a couple of pieces gone
