the cats in the kettle
Renea Mccauley
hi I am looking for the words and singer of a send up of cats in the cradle
the words I can remember go something like
"I thought I ordered sweet and sour pork but garfields sitting on my fork "
"and the cats in the kettle with the silver spoon"
any help would be greatly appreciated

"Cat's
In the Cradle":
Cat's In The Kettle
(sung to the Harry Chapin tune "Cat's In The Cradle")
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 purring here on my fork
There's a cat in the kettle at the Pei King 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.
Chow Lin asked if I wanted more
As he was dialing 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 sucking on a Rolaid and a Tums or two
When I swear I heard it mew, boy,
And that is when I knew…
There's a cat in the kettle at the Pei King Moon.
I think I gotta stop eating there at noon.
They say that it's beef or fish or pork,
But it's purring there on my fork.
There's a hairball on my fork.

sendup? All his spoofs are food-related.

I think It's Ugly Kid Joe and The Cats in the Cradle:
Here's the lyrics:
VERSE 1a
A child arrived just the other day
Came to the world in the usual way
There were planes to catch, bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
VERSE 1b
He was talking 'fore I knew it and when he could, he said
"I'm gonna be like you, yeah,
You know I'm gonna be like you"
VERSE 2a
My son turned ten just the other day
He said "Thanks for the ball dad, come on, let's play
Could you teach me to throw?", I said "Not today
I got a lot to do", he said "That's OK"
VERSE 2b
He walked away with a smile on his face, he said
"I'm gonna be like him, yeah,
you know I'm gonna be like him"
CHORUS
The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and a man on the moon
When you comin' home son, I don't know when
We'll get together then,
You know we'll have a good time then
VERSE 3a
When he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just have to say
I'm proud of you, could you sit for a while
He shook his head and he said with a smile
VERSE 3b
What I'm feeling like, dad, is to borrow the car keys
see you later, can I have them please
CHORUS
VERSE 4a
Long since retired, my son moved away
I called him up just the other day
I'd like to see you, if you don't mind
He said: I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time.
VERSE 4b
You see, my new job's ass and the kids got the flew,
but it's sure nice talking to you dad,
it was sure nice talking to you.
VERSE 5b
And as I hung up the phone is occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me!
CHORUS - twice, play this part over the above chorus

Thanks for the lyrics to Cat's in the Cradle Jacek,
but there really is a song going around, called
Cat's In The Kettle.. (parody of the Ugly Kid Joe's Song)
Did you ever think when you eat Chinese
Its 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 purring 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 and you'll never know
once they they wrap it up in dough, boys
They fry it real crisp in dough..
Chow Lyn asked if I wanted more
As he was dialing up his buddy at the old pet store

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 Moon
I think I got to stop eating there at noon
They say that its meat or fish or pork
But its purring there on my fork
There's a hair ball on my fork
