2. JAGUAR JUMPSTART 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
Of a man named Leroy Brown
Now Leroy’s more than trouble
You see, he stands about six foot four
All those downtown ladies call him
“Treetop Lover”
All the men just call him sir
CHORUS And he’s bad bad Leroy Brown Baddest man in the whole town
Badder than old King Kong Meaner than a junkyard dog
Now Leroy, he’s a gambler
And he likes his fancy clothes
And he likes to wear his diamond rings
Under everybody’s nose
He’s got a custom continental
He’s got an El Dorado too
He’s got a 32 gun in his pocket full of fun
He’s got a razor in his shoe
CHORUS
Well, Friday, about a week ago
Leroy was shooting dice
And at the edge of the bar
Sat a girl named Doris
And oooh that girl looked nice
Well he cast his eyes upon her
And the trouble soon began
Leroy Brown learned his lesson
about messing
With the wife of a jealous man
Well the two men took to fighting
And when they pulled them from the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone .
