Subject: RE: Harry Chapin's Cat's in the Cradle - parody
I borrowed this from a previous thread. Apparently never made it in the Digital Tradition

CAT'S 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 Mien
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 ate every day at noon
They can feed you cat and you'll never know
Once they wrap it up in dough, boys....
They fry it real crisp in dough

Chow 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......

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.......
