        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.
