Live performance by Jim Croce and Maury Muehleisen (BBC, July 1973) Αudio-visually remastered (improved) widescreen [16:9] Bad Bad Leroy Brown ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lyrics/Music: Jim Croce Well the South side of Chicago Is the baddest part o' town And if you go down there You better just beware Of a man name o' 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 damn town Badder than ol' King Kong And meaner than a junkyard dog Now Leroy he a gambler And he like his fancy clothes And he like to wave 'em diamond rings Upon-a everybody's nose He got a custom Continental He got an El Dorado too He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun He got a razor in his shoe, yeah And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown The baddest man in the whole damn town A-badder than ol' King Kong And meaner than a junkyard dog Well it were 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 And Leroy Brown he 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 ol' King Kong And meaner than a junkyard dog Well them two mens took to fightin' And when they pulled them from the floor Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle With a couple o' pieces gone And its bad, bad Leroy Brown The baddest man in the whole damn town Badder than ol' King Kong And meaner than a junkyard dog (repeat) Yes, he-a badder than old King Kong And meaner than a junkyard dog
