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 F# F Ab F# 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 Room,
Ab Bb
Every single day where I eat at noon.
F Eb
They can feed you cat and you'll never know,
Ab F# F Ab F# 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.
