Frank Sinatra - Bad, Bad Leroy Brown

Bad, Bad Leroy Brown

Original songwriter: Jim Croce

Well the south side of Chicago it's the baddest part of town

And if you go down there you better just beware of a man named Leroy Brown

Well Leroy he's more than trouble he stands about six feet four

All the downtown ladies call him treetop lover on the studs they call him Sir

And he's bad bad Leroy Brown

The baddest man in the whole damn town

Badder than old King Kong and meaner than a junkyard dog

Now Leroy, he a gambler and he likes his fancy clothes

He likes to wave his diamond rings in front of everybody's nose

He's got a custom continental he's got an Eldorado too

He's got a thirty-two gun in his pocket for fun he's got a razor in his shoe

Yeah he's bad bad Leroy Brown

The baddest man in the whole damn town

Badder than old King Kong and meaner than a junkyard dog

Where Friday 'bout a week ago

Leroy is shootin' dice

And at the edge of the bar sat a lady named Doris

Man, Mmm, Mmm she sure looked nice

Well he laid eyes upon her and the trouble soon began

And Leroy Brown he learned a lesson 'bout messin' with the wife of a jealous man

Yeah he's bad bad Leroy Brown

The baddest man in the whole damn town

Badder than old King Kong and meaner than a junkyard dog

He's bad bad Leroy Brown

The baddest man in the whole damn town

Badder than old King Kong and meaner than a junkyard dog

He badder than old King Kong and meaner that a junkyard dog
