were i grew up SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO YEA BABY

I MISS U AND LOVE U PATTY MAC FOR INTRODUCING ME TO THIS SONG. RIP

I just love this song...very catchy (smile).

JUST PLAIN FUN...CLASSIC !

the cartoon video for this song is pretty sweet if anyones seen it

best sing-along song ever!

really a classic!!!!!!!!!!!!

I live in San Diego, where Jim lived. Jim's wife owns Croce's restaurant where the food is overpriced and she pays the musicians shitty. Street musicians make more money outside the restaurant playing on the street than the musicians make inside the restaurant playing for upscale clientele. Maybe if Jim were still alive things would be different. Anyhow... THIS SONG ROCKS!!!

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
You see he stand bout six foot four
All the downtown ladies call him treetop lover
All the mens just call him sir

And its bad, bad leroy brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old king kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Now leroy he a gambler
And he like his fancy clothes
And he like to wave his diamond rings
In front of everybodys 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

And its bad, bad leroy brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old king kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Well 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 learned a lesson
bout messin with the wife of a jealous man

And its bad, bad leroy brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old king kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog,

Well the two men took to fightin
And when they pulled them from the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone

And its bad, bad leroy brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old king kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

love this song. one of my favorites.
