Bad Bad Leroy Brown Lyrics

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
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
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
Well, Friday 'bout a week ago Leroy shootin' dice And at the edge of the bar Sat a girl named Doris and ooh, 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
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
Well, the two men took to fighting And when they pulled them from the floor Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle With a couple of pieces gone
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
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 Yeah, badder than old King Kong And meaner than a junkyard dog

I like this song, even though it is strikingly similar to his other song "You Don't Mess Around With Jim." I have no idea which came first, but they kind of seem like he ran out of ideas and just rewrote the song to fit.
