Sides face, grand square
Well, the south side of Chicago, is the baddest part of town
Well, if you go down there, you better best beware of a man named Leroy Brown
4 ladies promenade one time round, swing with your man
Allemande and promenade the land
He's badder than ole King Kong, and meaner than a junk yard dog

Heads (sides) square thru 4 hands around, dosado that maid
Swing thru and the boys you run
Tag the line, a 1/4 right I say, you wheel and deal and then
Pass thru and turn back, swing the corner man
Left allemande and promenade the land
He's badder than ole King Kong, and meaner than a junk yard dog

Sides face, grand square
Now LeRoy, he's a gambler and he likes his fancy clothes
He likes to wear his diamond ring on everybody's nose..
4 ladies promenade one time round, swing with your man
Allemande and promenade the land
He's badder than ole King Kong, and meaner than a junk yard dog

Sides face, grand square
He got a custom Continental and an El Dorado, too
He got a .32 gun in his pocket for fun, and a razor in his shoe
4 ladies promenade one time round, swing with your man
Allemande and promenade the land
He's badder than ole King Kong, and meaner than a junk yard dog
