Bad Bad Leroy Brown - Jim Croce

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 'bout six foot four 
All the downtown ladies call him "Treetop Lover" 
All the men just call him "Sir" 

Chorus: 
And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown 
The baddest man in the whole damned town 
Badder than old King Kong 
And 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 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Now Friday 'bout a week ago 
Leroy shootin' dice 
And at the edge of the bar 
Sat a girl named Doris 
And oo that girl looked nice 
Well he cast his eyes upon her 
And the trouble soon began 
'Cause Leroy Brown learned a lesson 
'Bout messin' with the wife of a jealous man 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Well the two men took to fighting 
And when they pulled them off the floor 
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle 
With a couple of pieces gone
