  			        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 
 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
