Audio of You Be Illin’ by Run-D.M.C., plus the cover by Carolina Chocolate Drops, et al

1986 studio single by Run-D.M.C.

Queens, New York

One day when I was chillin’ in Kentucky Fried Chicken

Just mindin’ my business, eatin’ food and finger lickin’

This dude walked in lookin’ strange and kind of funny

Went up to a’front with a menu and his money

He didn’t walk straight, kind of side-to-side

He asked this old lady,

“Yo, yo, um…is this Kentucky Fried?”

The lady said “Yeah”, smiled and he smiled back

He gave a quarter and his order,

“Small fries, Big Mac!“

You be illin’
