G
Well the south side of Chicago
A7
Is the baddest part of town
B7 C
And if you go down there you'd better just beware
D7 G
Of a man named Leroy Brown
Now Leroy's more than trouble
You see he stands 'bout six foot four
All the downtown ladies call him treetop lover
All the men just call him 'sir'
(Chorus:)
G
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown
A7
The baddest man in the whole down town
B7 C
Badder than old King Kong
D7 G
Meaner than a junkyard dog
Now Leroy he's a gambler
And he likes his fancy clothes
And he likes to wear his diamond rings
In front of 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 'bout a week ago
Leroy shooting dice
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl name 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 messin'
With the wife of a jealous man
(Chorus)
Well the two men took to fightin'
And when they pulled him from the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsay puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone
(Chorus)
