lyrics

Mr. Leroy Brown
Mr. Leroy Brown, he’s never around
Mr. Leroy Brown
Mr. Leroy Brown, he’s never around

He’s been here in the morning
He leaves his dirty dishes and a pan of crusty eggs
And then I wash them alone

I’m always finding charges
I’m always finding bank accounts are closed
I watch the money, but it never grows

Mr. Leroy Brown
Mr. Leroy Brown, he’s always never around
Mr. Leroy Brown
Mr. Leroy Brown, he’s never around

When I’m home from the office
There’s always just a darkness to the air
I check the carpets but there’s never a smear

I always close the curtains
I’m certain that I did it, but there they are, as wide as day
Is somebody home?

Mr. Leroy Brown
Mr. Leroy Brown, he’s always never around
Mr. Leroy Brown
Mr. Leroy Brown, he’s never always around

Who’s clothes are in the basket?
It’s hard to tell what’s mine anymore.
I do his laundry, but I’m living alone

My memories are hazy.
I’m losing track for hours,
Here he comes, It’s Mr. Brown again,
But where have I gone?

Mr. Leroy Brown
Mr. Leroy Brown, he’s never around
Mr. Leroy Brown
Mr. Leroy Brown, he’s always never around

My friends are on the lookout
I told them he’s about my weight and size
We’ll have to wait and see, but no luck so far

I feel like it’s a fiction
I know it’s not a picture perfect plan, but it’s realistic
And it’s better than none

Mr. Leroy Brown
Mr. Leroy Brown, he’s never never around
Mr. Leroy Brown
Mr. Leroy Brown, he’s always always always always around
