Cats in the Kettle

Did you ever think, when you eat Chinese
It ain't pork or chicken but a fat Siamese?
Yet the food tastes great, so you don’t complain.
But that’s not chicken in your 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.

CHORUS
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 and you’ll never know
Once they wrap it up in dough, boy.
They fry it real crisp in dough.

Chou Lin asked 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 a Rolaid and a Tums or two
When I swear I heard it mew, boys.
And that is when I knew.

CHORUS
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 hair-ball on my fork.

Enjoy

I am fairly sure this isn't by Weird Al. And I would know! $\:D/$

Oh yeah, my dad has that song somewhere on his computer, he's had it a long time.

wait a minute,
thats to the tune of "cats in the cradle" isnt it???

Yep, it's called a parody. When someone takes a popular song and writes new (most of the time funny) words to it.

That's funny!

I think it was first done by cat stevens but I'm not sure who did this one. anim8ed version:,,,,,,,:another anim8ed version I kept searching after I found the song and found these.

I think one of my favorite non-Weird Al parodies is "I Want a Fat Babe"

to the tune of Backstreet Boys "I Want it That Way"...
