Cat’s In The Kettle

By Bob Rivers

To the music of Cat's In The Cradle

E G

Did you ever think when you eat Chinese

A E

It ain’t pork or chicken but a fat Siamese

E G

Yet the food tastes great so you don’t complain

A E

But that’s not chicken in your chicken chow mein

D (walk down) D/F# D/E D/open D string

Seems to me I ordered sweet and sour pork

G (walk down)Em

But Garfield’s on my fork

G (walk down) Em

He’s purrin’ here on my fork

Chorus 1:

E D

There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon

G A

The place that I eat everyday at noon

E D

They can feed you cat and you’ll never know

G (walk down) Em

What they’re wrappin’ up in dough, boy

G (walk down) Em

They fry it real crisp in dough

Chow Lin asked if I wanted more

As he was dialing up his buddy at the old pet store

I said not today, I lost my appetite

There’s 2 cat’s in my belly and they want to fight

I was suckin on a Rolaid and a Tums or 2

When I swear I heard it mew, boy

And that is when I knew

Chorus 2:

There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon

I think I gotta stop eatin’ there at noon

They say that it’s beef, or fish or pork

But it’s purrin’ there on my fork

There’s a hairball on my fork
