Location: NJ | There's a parody of Harry Chapin's "Cat's In the Cradle" that we occasionally do
"Cat's In the Kettle" :
Did you ever think when you eat Chinese
It ain't beef or pork but a fat Siamese
But the food tastes great so you don't complain
But that's not chicken in the Chicken Chow Mein
Seems to me I ordered Sweet and Sour Pork
But Garfield's on my fork
He's purrin' here on my fork
There's a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon
The place that I eat every day at noon
They can feed you cat but you'd never know
Once they wrap it up in dough, boys
They fry it real crisp in dough
Chow Lin asked me if I wanted more
as he was dialin' up his buddy at the old pet store
I said "Not today, I lost my appetite"
There's two cats in my belly and they want to fight
I was suckin' on Rolaids or a Tums or two
When I swear I heard it "mew" , boys
And that was when I knew
There's a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon
I think I gotta stop eatin' there at noon
They can say it's beef or fish or pork
But it's purrin' here on my fork, boys
There's a hairball on my fork |

Location: North Texas | I've never seen one of his live shows so I'll concede the point. I'd like to see him perform in person. Anyway, I was being facetious. Cheers |
