Welcome Mat Lyrics by Matt Dennis

Welcome Matt

1959

[Verse 1]
Put out the welcome mat, no matter where you're at
Most people everywhere, like to feel they’re welcome there
It's seldom "either/or," when there's an open door
Right smart, and friendly that, puttin’ out the welcome mat!
[Bridge]
We need a new fraternity to advocate these views
No initiation fee - just pay your howdy-do's!
[Verse 2]
If you can learn to laugh, you'll stand the guff and gaffe
Win friends in nothing flat, puttin' out the welcome mat!
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
We need a new fraternity to advocate these views
No initiation fee - just pay your howdy-do's!
[Verse 2]
If you can learn to laugh, you'll stand the guff and gaffe
Win friends... Win friends... Win friends in nothing flat!
Puttin' out the welcome mat!
