Now the south side of Chicago
Is (It's) the baddest part of town
And if you (you're gonna) go down there, you better (just) beware
Of a man (cat) named Leroy Brown
Now Leroy (Brown) he's trouble
And he stands about six feet four
All the downtown ladies call him: "treetop lover"
The studs they call him: "Sir"
(Yeah) He's bad, bad Leroy Brown
Meanest (baddest) man (cat) in the whole d*** town
Badder that old King Kong
(And( (He's) Meaner that a junkyard dog
Now Leroy he's a gambler
And he likes (digs) his (those) fancy clothes
He likes to wave his (that) (great big / big fat) (shinny) diamond ring(s)
Under (In front of) everybody's nose
He's got a custom Continental
He's got an Eldorado too
He's got a 22 (32) gun in his pocket for fun
He's got a razor in his (the razor in the) shoe
(Yeah) He's bad, bad Leroy Brown
Meanest (baddest) man (cat) in the whole d*** town
Badder that old King Kong
(And (He's) Meaner that a junkyard dog
Now Friday - 'bout a week ago
Leroy shootin' dice
And at the end (edge) of the bar, sat (was) a lady (chick) named Dorris (Morris)
Man she sure looked nice
And (Well/Then) he laid his eyes upon her
That's when the big scene (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
Meanest (baddest) man (cat) in the whole d*** town
