Intro
Verse 1
Well, the south side of Chicago
Is the baddest part of town.
And if you go down there
C D7* C G D7
You better just beware of a man name of Leroy Brown.
Now, Leroy more than trouble,
You see he stand about 'bout six foot four.
All the downtown ladies call him "treetop lover."
D7* C G D7
All the men just call him "sir."
Chorus
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
Badder than old King Kong
D7* C G D7
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
Verse 2
Now, Leroy, he a gambler,
and he like his fancy clothes.
And he like to wave diamond rings
D7* C G D7
in front of everybody's nose
He got a custom Continental.
He got an Eldorado too.
He got a thirty-two gun in his pocket for fun.
D7* C G D7
He got a razor in his shoe.
Chorus
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
Badder than old King Kong
D7* C G D7
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
Verse 3
Well, Friday 'bout a week ago,
Leroy's shootin' dice.
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl name of Doris
D7* C G D7
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'
D7* C G D7
with the wife of a jealous man
Chorus
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
Badder than old King Kong
D7* C G D7
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
Verse 4
Well, the two men took to fightin'
And when they pulled them from the floor,
B7 C D7* C G D7
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone.
Chorus
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
Badder than old King Kong
D7* C G D7
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,
The baddest man in the whole damn town.
Badder than old King Kong
D7* C G
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
Outro
Yes, you were badder than old King Kong
D7* C G
And meaner than a junkyard dog.
