Guilty Pleasures


Bilbo the Rover

Recommended Posts

Does anybody becides me think that Jim Croce is the shit?

Now on the south side of Chicago, in the bad'st part of town.

Well if you go down there you better just beware of a man named Leroy Brown

Now Leroy he is trouble, ya see he stand's about six foot four

All the down town ladies they call him tree top lover and all the men just call him sir!

Cause he's bad bad bad bad Leroy Brown

Bad'st man in the whole damned town

Ya he's bader than old King Kong and meaner than the junk yard dog

Now Leroy he's a gambler and he likes his fancy clothes

And he like's to ware them diamond ring's under every body's 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

Cause he's bad bad bad bad Leroy Brown

Bad'st man in the whole damned town

Ya he's badder than old King Kong and meaner than the junk yard dog

Well Friday bout a week ago Leroy shoot'in dice

And at the edge of the bar sat a girl named Doris

And Ooo that girl liked nice

Well he cast his eye's upon her and the trouble soon began

Leroy Brown learned a lesson about mess'in with the wife of a jealous man

Cause he's bad bad bad bad Leroy Brown

Bad'st man in the whole damned town

Ya he's badder than old King Kong and meaner than the junk yard dog

Well then two men took to fight him and when they pulled him from the floor

Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone

Cause he's bad bad bad bad Leroy Brown

Bad'st man in the whole damned town

Ya he's badder than old King Kong and meaner than the junk yard dog

Great song writer and taken much too young. B)

Uptown got it's hustlers

The bowery got it's bums

42nd Street got Big Jim Walker

He's a pool-shootin' son of a gun

Yeah, he big and dumb as a man can come

But he stronger than a country hoss

And when the bad folks all get together at night

You know they all call big Jim "Boss", just because

And they say

You don't tug on Superman's cape

You don't spit into the wind

You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger

And you don't mess around with Jim

Well outta south Alabama came a country boy

He say I'm lookin' for a man named Jim

I am a pool-shootin' boy

My name Willie McCoy

But down home they call me Slim

Yeah I'm lookin' for the king of 42nd Street

He drivin' a drop top Cadillac

Last week he took all my money

And it may sound funny

But I come to get my money back

And everybody say Jack don't you know

And you don't tug on Superman's cape

You don't spit into the wind

You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger

And you don't mess around with Jim

Well a hush fell over the pool room

Jimmy come boppin' in off the street

And when the cuttin' were done

The only part that wasn't bloody

Was the soles of the big man's feet

Yeah he were cut in in bout a hundred places

And he were shot in a couple more

And you better believe

They sung a different kind of story

When big Jim hit the floor now they say

You don't tug on Superman's cape

You don't spit into the wind

You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger

And you don't mess around with Slim

Yeah, big Jim got his hat

Find out where it's at

And it's not hustlin' people strange to you

Even if you do got a two-piece custom-made pool cue

Yeah you don't tug on Superman's cape

You don't spit into the wind

You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger

And you don't mess around with Slim

Best Part: When the timing switches on the 3rd verse. Pretty damn sick.
