I don’t have Leopard but, isn’t all iTunes the same?
Well, if it is, you have to delete one by one. You click on the song you don’t want and press delete. I haven’t found another way to delete songs…

@Tink1113 is right! When you hit delete, iTunes will ask if you want the song files to go to the trash folder. If you hit yes then when you empty the trash you’ll actually be deleting the files as well and clearing up some hard drive space.

If you delete songs from within iTunes, you have to do it from the Music tab. If you are in a playlist, you will only remove the reference from that playlist. When you delete from the Music area you will be asked if you want to delete the file as well.

Of course, if you want to scrap it all at once – the entire library database and music files – just delete the folder in Finder: Home/Music/iTunes.

Why not mark more than one song as “selected” and then press delete. This way you could delete more songs at once
