Lyrics

[Intro] Get The Killer down on tape right and we'll make millions [Verse 1] Up on the South Side of Chicago They call it the toddlin' town Cat told me the other day That Billy Sunday couldn't even tame it down But I met a stud called Leroy And Leroy, he was mean You'd better watch a cat like that 'Cause ain't no tellin' what he's gonna hang on you [Chorus] He's bad, bad, Leroy Brown Meanest stud in the whole damn town Meaner than ol' King Kong He's rougher than a junkyard dog [Instrumental Break] Play your fiddle, son That's Kenneth Lovelace He's rougher than a razorback hog That may sound like simple playin', but Leroy's bad and I don't want to make him mad [Verse 2] Now Leroy, went down to the Whirlaway To have himself a drink That good lookin' stripper come out Made big Leroy think Well, he had him a Lincoln, a big Cadillac He wanted to meet her out back But Johnny didn't like it Lord, he hung it on Leroy's back [Chorus] Oh, he thought he was bad, he wasn't, he was bad, he thought he was bad, my God The meanest cat in the whole stinkin' town Meaner than ol' King Kong Meaner than [?]'s junkyard dog [Instrumental Break] Play your harp, stud That's Leroy Layin' out there bleedin', blowin' his harp [Bridge] Yes, he was bad He thought he was We buried him yesterday My God, we had to put Leroy away Easy, boys Whole lotta shakin' goin' on We buried him in New Orleans I guess we oughta have uh... Tarp to play a break on the drums for us Little mistake by The Killer on piano but I'll be alright [Verse 3] Now like ol' Nixon Watergate cat's still around He's worse Than old Leroy Brown [Chorus] He's bad, bad Leroy Brown The meanest mother-humper in the whole damn town Meaner than ol' King Kong Rougher than a junkyard dog [Spoken] Easy boys, easy now He was bad But you know something, he was sad Sadder than a lamb Goin' to the slaughter, ol' Leroy Brown My name's Jerry Lee Lewis Piano playin' mother-humper, country and western mother-humper Just a plain mother-humper when I take a notion But I'm a good cat [Bridge] Give it to me And I ain't bad I ain't bad! I ain't meaner than old King Kong My pappy told me around the corner there was a cat that could always take you [Chorus] If you're bad, bad Leroy Brown The meanest stud in the whole damn town He was meaner than ol' King Kong Stupider than a junkyard dog [Verse 4] Now you see these knots on my bald head And these teeth The Killer ain't got I didn't get 'em at home, son, layin' in bed I hung it in a slot I seen a cat down at Friday's Picked a little fight with him He broke my nose I had a hose, and I whupped the shit right out of him [Chorus] Because I'm bad, bad, bad, Killer Meanest man in Memphis, Tennessee Meaner than old King Kong And I'm rougher than a low-down, stinkin', low-down, junkyard, mother-humpin' A junkyard, have you ever seen a junkyard dog I'm bad, bad, whoo And I sure in the hell ain't sad If you don't like that, you can kiss my ass And don't give me no sass [Outro] See how nice I am? I have struck again with a fourteen million seller underground record Because I'm tellin' the truth Have you ever heard anybody, build theirself up, tear theirself down, build theirself up, tear theirself down And then bring it out?
