Bring back bring back bring back that Leroy Brown Yeah!

Big bad Leroy Brown he got no common sense
No no he got no brains but he sure gotta lotta style

Big mama Lulu Belle she had a nervous breakdown
She had a nervous breakdown
Leroy's taken her honey chile away
But she met him down at the station Oohoo
Put a shotgun to his head and unless I be mistaken
This is what she said
Big bad big boy big bad Leroy Brown
I'm gonna get that cutie pie
Bring back bring back bring back that Leroy Brown Yeah!
Big bad caused a mighty fine sensation Yeah Yeah!
Gone and got himself elected President
We want Leroy for President
Next time you gotta hit a bitty baddy weather
This time like a shimmy shammy leather
He's a big boy bad boy Leroy
I don't care where you get him from
Bring that big bad Leroy back
Want him back
Bring back bring back gotta ring that Leroy Brown Yeah!
Daddy cool with a ninety dollar smile (ooh Yeah)
Took my money out of gratitude
And he git right out of town
Well I gotta getty up steady up shoot him down
Gotta hit that latitude babe
Bring back bring back gotta ring that Leroy Brown Yeah!
No no he got no brains but he sure gotta lotta style
Can't stand no more in this here jail
I gotta rid myself of this sentence
Gotta get out of the heat step into the shade
Gotta get me there dead or alive babe
Wooh wooh wooh wooh
Big bad Leroy Brown
Bring back bring back gotta bring back Leroy Brown Yeah!
She had a nervous breakdown

Who is, who is, who is that Leroy Brown? Seriously who is he?
It is a mock of the song by Jim Croce, "Leroy Brown".
I did not submit the above post. A friend, who is registered as <b>70's_rocker</b>, posted it while I was away from the computer. I cannot verify the validity of the statement, nor do I claim it as my opinion. To be honest, I don't know who Jim Croce or Leroy Brown are. And I don't particularly care for Queen's music. I apologize for any misunderstandings.
johnny cash dude! i dunno. a few songs besides this have leroy brown in it. aparently hes as folktale. i love this song and the old taste of 20s music. the main reason i love Queen: they flirt with other eras and make it good!
I don't know who he is exactly, but if you look up 'Bad, Bad Leroy Brown' by Frank Sinatra then that might give you some idea.
Jim Croce wrote/sang the famous song "TIme in a Bottle". By chance I walked past someone watching a Jim Croce concert on DVD and he happened to be talking about a certain 'Leroy Brown' - from what I remember, a friend of his, in the army, who was constantly messing around and having a good time. I was surprised to hear him talking about 'Leroy Brown', having been well-acquainted with this Queen song. Therefore that second comment might be valid...would be interesting if someone could give a more concrete explanation.

A fun song where in their amazing fashion, Queen takes you back to the Roaring Twenties and makes it something for the modern world.
Really good
There is a song called "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" performed by Jim Croce in about the 60's. I think the song is doing what it says, bringing back what was a pretty big single when it was released. great song! once again queen have nailed it... though when do they not?
