Well, the ^Gsouth side of Chicago Is the ^A7baddest part of town. And if you ^B7go down there You better j^Cust beware of a ^D7man name of Leroy ^GBrown.

Now, Leroy more than trouble,

You see he ^A7stand about 'bout six foot four. All the ^B7downtown ladies call him &^Cquot;treetop lover." All the ^D7men just call him &^Gquot;sir."

Chorus: G And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown,

The ^A7baddest man in the whole damn town. ^B7Badder than old ^CKing Kong And ^Dmeaner than a ^Cjunkyard dog.

Now, Leroy, he a gambler, and he likes his fancy clothes. And he likes to wave diamond rings 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. He got a razor in his shoe. (Chorus) Well, Friday 'bout a week ago, Leroy's shootin' dice. And at the edge of the bar sat a girl name of Doris 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' with the wife of a jealous man (Chorus)

Well, ^Gthe two men took to fightin' And when they ^A7pulled them from the floor, ^B7Leroy looked like a ^Cjigsaw puzzle with a ^D7couple of pieces ^Ggone.

Out Chorus: B7 C Yes, you were badder than old King Kong

And ^Dmeaner than a ^Cjunkyard ^Gdog.
