Bad, Bad Leroy Brown
By Frank Sinatra

INSTRUMENTAL INTRODUCTION

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
He stood about six foot four
All the downtown ladies call him Treetop Lover
All the studs they 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's a gambler
And he likes his fancy clothes
He likes 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

Yeah he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And he is meaner than a junkyard dog

INSTRUMENTAL

Well Friday 'bout a week ago
Leroy shootin' dice
And at the edge of the bar
Sat a lady named Doris
And ooh she sure looked nice
Well he lays his 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 damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

He's bad, he's bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a junkyard dog

He is badder than old King Kong
Badder than a junkyard dog
