F Ab

Did you ever think when you ate Chinese

Bb F

It ain't pork or chicken, but a fat Siamese?

F Ab

Yet the food tastes great so you don't complain,

Bb F

But that's not chicken in your chicken Chow Mein.

Eb Eb/D C Bb

Seems to me I ordered Sweet and Sour pork,

Ab G F Ab G F

But Garfield's on my fork. He's purring here on my fork.

F Eb

Cause' the cat's in the kettle at the Peking Moon,

Ab Bb

Every single day where I eat at noon.

F Eb

They can feed you cat and you'll never know,

Ab G F Ab G F

Cause' they wrap it up in dough, boys...they fry it real crisp in dough.

Chow Lin asked if I wanted more,

As he was dialing up his buddy from the old pet store.

I said, "Not today, I've lost my appetite."

There's two cats in my belly and they want to fight.

I was sucking on a Rolaid and a Tums or two,

When I swear I heard it mew, boys.

And that is when I knew.

There's a cat in the kettle at the Peking Room.

I think I gotta stop eating there at noon.

They say that it's beef, chicken, or pork

But it's purring there on my fork.

There's a hairball on my fork.
