Bring Back That Leroy Brown

Bring back, bring back, bring back that Leroy Brown - yeah
Bring back, bring back, gotta bring that Leroy Brown - back

Bet your bottom dollar bill you're a playboy - yeah yeah
Daddy cool with a ninety dollar smile, ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
Took my money out of gratitude, and he got right outta town - babe
I gotta getty up, steady up, shoot him down
Gotta hit that latitude - babe

Bring back, bring back, bring back that Leroy Brown - yeah
Bring back, bring back, gotta bring that Leroy Brown - back

Big bad Leroy Brown he got no common sense, no no
He got no brains but he sure gotta lot of style
Can't stand no more in this here jail
I gotta rid myself of this sentence
Gotta get me out the heat, step into the shade
Gotta get me there dead or alive - babe

Wooh wooh, big bad Leroy, wooh wooh
Wooh wooh, big bad Leroy - Brown - well

Bring back, bring back, bring back that Leroy Brown
Bring back, bring back, gotta bring that Leroy Brown - back

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 (wooh wooh)
Put a shot gun 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
Dubby du dah, dubby du dah, dubby du dah
Bring that big bad Leroy back
Want him back

Aceasta piesa scurta si dinamica este o parodie la adresa muzicii pe care urechea noastra o identifica exclusiv cu coloana sonora a filmelor de tip western. Pretextul este povestea unui bandit care s-a saturat de inchisoare ("can't stand no more in this here jail, I gotta rid myself of this sentence") si a evadat. Peripetiile lui "big bad Leroy Brown", cautat in permanenta de autoritati ("bring back that Leroy Brown!"), sunt narate cu umor, pe o muzica in stil tipic de western, cu acorduri rapide de chitara si banjo. Pana la urma, ca o ironie a sortii, marele si fiorosul bandit ajunge... presedintele Americii! ("got himself elected president- we want Leroy for president").
