{Verse 1}
In dusty ol' Dodge City
A barmaid called Miss Kitty had it bad for the Marshall
Matt Dillon was his name
I've seen every TV rerun
And every time I've seen one it's the same
He leaves her waitin' for the kiss that never came
{Verse 2}
Yes, she keeps waitin' for the sundown
When he'll lay that smokin' gun down
And swear to her his fightin' days are through
But every mornin' Mr. Dillon's off to chase another villain
And poor Miss Kitty is wonderin' what to do
{Chorus}
I'm tellin' you
One day you're gonna wear out your welcome, Matt
If you keep steppin' on her like that
You know that ain't no way to treat your Kitty cat
You're wearin' out your welcome...
Matt
{Verse 3}
Now even Doc and Chester say
"Don't let this one get away"
But Matt, you just ain't too quick on the draw
Wise up, Marshall, treat her right
Tell her she can spend the night
Wrapped up in the long arms of the law
{Chorus}
I'm tellin' you
One day you're gonna wear out your welcome, Matt
If you keep steppin' on her like that
You know that ain't no way to treat your Kitty cat
You're wearin' out your welcome...
Matt
{Verse 4}
Matthew, I don't want to see the episode
When Miss Kitty finally says it's time to hit the road
'Cause everybody knows you'd miss her
But don't just stand there, man
Go ahead and kiss her!
{Chorus}
I'm tellin' you
One day you're gonna wear out your welcome, Matt
(Where did ya'll come from?)
If you keep steppin' on her like that
You know that ain't no way to treat your Kitty cat
You're wearin' out your welcome...
Matt
{Verse 5}
Yes you're wearin' out your welcome
She's sick and tired of waitin'
There's a million fans a watchin'
You better think about them ratings
'Cause you're wearin' out your welcome...
Matt!
