Bad Bad Leroy Brown
Frank Sinatra Lyrics

Now the south side of Chicago
The south side of Chicago is widely known to be a particularly rough and dangerous part of town

Is (it's) the baddest part of town
It is considered to be the toughest, most unruly part of the city

And if you (you're gonna) go down there, you better (just) beware
If you decide to venture into that area, it is advised that you exercise extreme caution

Of a man (cat) named Leroy Brown
There is a particularly infamous individual there named Leroy Brown whom you should be wary of

Now Leroy (Brown) he's trouble
Leroy Brown is not an upstanding figure, but rather someone who can cause a considerable amount of problems

And he stands about six-feet-four
Leroy Brown is an imposing figure who stands at a height of six feet and four inches

All the downtown ladies call him treetop lover
Despite his poor reputation, many women find his stature to be attractive and refer to him as 'treetop lover'

The studs they call him sir
Men of a certain ilk and self-importance refer to Leroy Brown respectfully as 'sir'

(Yeah) he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
He is an individual who is quite notorious and renowned for his malevolent behavior

Meanest (baddest) man (cat) in the whole damn town
In comparison to everyone else in the region, Leroy Brown is known as the most unpleasant and disagreeable person

Badder than old King Kong
Leroy Brown is more menacing and fearsome than the colossal fictional creature known as King Kong

(And he's) meaner than a junkyard dog
He possesses a disposition that is even more vicious and ferocious than the grimmest of canine breeds

Now Leroy he's a gambler
Leroy enjoys the act of gambling, even if it may be a destructive habit

And he likes (digs) his (those) fancy clothes
He takes great pride in his appearance and has a penchant for wearing stylish clothing

He likes to wave his (that great, big, big fat, shiny diamond ring)
One of his cherished possessions is an ostentatious and impressive diamond ring that he takes pleasure in flaunting

Under (in front of) everybody's nose
He enjoys showing off his valuables to others, even to complete strangers

He's got a custom Continental
Leroy Brown is the owner of a specially-designed Continental automobile

He's got an Eldorado too
He has another car, an Eldorado, which is also quite impressive

He's got a 22 (32) gun in his pocket for fun
Leroy Brown carries a small firearm with him that he will sometimes brandish for his own amusement

He's got a razor in his (the razor in the) shoe
In addition to his gun, Leroy Brown conceals a dangerous razor blade within his shoe

Now Friday, 'bout a week ago
This particular event took place just last week on a Friday

Leroy shootin' dice
Leroy was engaged in a game of dice when the incident occurred

And at the end (edge) of the bar sat (was) a lady (chick) named Dorris (Morris)
There was a woman named Dorris (or Morris) sitting by herself at the end of the bar

Man she sure looked nice
Leroy was rather taken with her appearance and found her to be quite attractive

And (well then) he laid his eyes upon her
He became fixated on this lady and could not take his eyes off of her

That's when the big scene (trouble soon) began
It was at this point that a larger altercation began to unfold

And Leroy Brown he learned a lesson 'bout messin'
This experience taught Leroy Brown a valuable lesson about the dangers of getting involved in the wrong things

With the wife of a jealous man
The woman in question happened to be the wife of an overly possessive and envious individual
