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
[Refrão] 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
