In the bad side of New Orleans
where the strongest drinks are poured
And if you go down there
you'll see the former lair
of a man named Leroy Hoard
Now Leroy don't want trouble
You see he stands under six feet tall
While his buddies were all out cruising the streets
Leroy would run that ball
Cause he's bad bad Leroy Hoard
If you watch him run you won't get bored
Badder than old Jim Brown
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Now Leroy played for Mich'gan
Became the Rose Bowl MVP
For the Cleveland Browns, in his first start
Leroy's skills were plain to see
He was the player of the game for Cleveland
He got his first pro touchdown too
By 92 if you were playing against the Browns
You tried to stop you know who
Cause he's bad bad Leroy Hoard
If you watch him run you won't get bored
Badder than old Jim Brown
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Years later, had a few slow years
The Ravens let him go
Watching the waiver wire
were the guys in purple
and to them he looked nice
Well they signed him to a contract
And the payoff soon began
'Cause Robert Smith went down again
and then Leroy came in and became The Man
Cause he's bad bad Leroy Hoard
If you watch him run you won't get bored
Badder than old Jim Brown
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Well he plays 'bout half the downs now
'Till they get close to the goal line
Leroy likes to go to Florida
and then commit petty crimes
Cause he's bad bad Leroy Hoard
If you watch him run you won't get bored
Badder than old Jim Brown
And meaner than a junkyard dog
