[Verso 1]


         F                   Ab 
Did you ever think when you eat 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                   Eb/C  Eb/Bb 
Seems to me I ordered sweet and sour pork, 
    Ab         Ab/G  F 
But Garfield’s on my fork. 
     Ab           Ab/G F 
He’s purrin’ here on my fork 


[Refrão]

          F                        Eb 
There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon, 
    Ab                           Bb 
The place that I eat everyday at noon. 
F                                Eb 
They can feed you cat and you’ll never know 
             Ab       Ab/G  F 
What they’re wrappin’ up in dough, boy. 
     Ab     Ab/G          F 
They fry it real crisp in dough. 


[Verso 2]


     F              Ab 
Chow Lin asked if I wanted more 
           Bb                          F 
As he was dialing up his buddy at the old pet store 
       F                    Ab 
I said not today, I lost my appetite 
          Bb                           F 
There’s two cat’s in my belly and they want to fight 
      Eb           Eb/D           Eb/C    Eb/Bb 
I was suckin' on a Rolaid and a Tums or two. 
       Ab      Ab/G         F 
When I swear I heard it mew, boy. 
    Ab      Ab/G  F 
And that is when I knew…

There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon 
  Ab                         Bb 
I think I gotta stop eatin’ there at noon 
F                           Eb 
They say that it’s beef, or fish or pork 
         Ab  Ab/G     F 
But it’s purrin’ there on my fork. 
          Ab     Ab/G    F 
There’s a hairball on my fork!
