Bad, bad, Leroy Brown

Well, the south side of Chicago, is the baddest part of town

And if you go down there, you better just beware
D7 G D7
Of a man named Leroy Brown

D7 G D7
All the men just call him “Sir”

refrain And he’s bad, bad, Leroy Brown

And meaner than a junkyard dog
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

And he likes to wave his diamond rings,
D7 G D7
In front of everybody’s nose

He got a Custom Continental; he got an El Dorado too

He got a 32-gun in his pocket for fun,
D7 G D7
He got a razor in his shoe

And at the edge of the bar sat a girl named Doris,
D7 G D7
And oh that girl looked nice
G A7
Well, he cast his eyes upon her, and the trouble soon began
B7 C
And Leroy Brown, he learned a lesson ‘bout messing
D7 G D7
With the wife of a jealous man
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, the two men took to fighting,

B7 C D7 G D7
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle, with a couple of pieces gone
