from The NOLA Treblemakers: Back To One! (2023 December 06) (2:56)

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 know he stand about six foot four
All them downtown ladies call him "Treetop Lover"
All the mens just call him "Sir"

And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
Baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog

Now Leroy he a gambler and he like his fancy clothes
And he like to wave them diamond rings under everybody nose
He got a custom Continental, he got that Eldorado too
He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun, he got a razor in his shoe

And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
Baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog

Now Friday bout a week ago, Leroy shootin dice
At the edge of the bar sat that girl named Doris
He say "Ooh that girl look nice"
Well he cast his eyes upon her and that trouble soon began
Leroy Brown learned a lesson bout messin with the wife of a jealous man

And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
Baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog

Well the two men took to fighting
And when they pulled em from the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone

And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
Baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog
Go, you was bad, bad Leroy Brown
Baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog
Yes you was badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog
