Subject: Does anyone know who wrote "Cat's In The Kettle"?

I've always been perplexed about the author. Intense googling seems to yield nothing, but that parody is partially responsible for my parody addiction. Does ANYONE know who wrote it?

There is a version on Bob Rivers twisted tunes website:

Either he did it, or Manic Larry Baker (or both)

I think the late Jim Taylor of Sydney claimed to have written it.

Close. (Maybe the same songwriter, but recorded under a different name by a couple of US DJs?) under the name of the Ill-Eagles, it appears as Track 5 of their Solid Mold, Vol. 2.
According to Wikipedia, DJs Jimmy Ray & Jay of WGH-FM Eagle 97.3 (Norfolk, VA) wrote a parody of the song, entitled "Cat's in the Kettle" on their second release Ill-Eagles II: Living in the House of Hope, which plays with the stereotype that Chinese restaurants in America use cat meat to pad out their food. As with the erroneous attributions of Chapin's song to Stevens, this parody has been attributed incorrectly to "Weird Al" Yankovic - a source of irritation to Yankovic, who eschews the use of racist humor.
