If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd've Baked a Cake

If I Knew You Were Coming, I'd Have Baked A Cake - Eileen Barton

Come in well well well look who's here

I haven't seen you in many

A year

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake

Baked a cake baked a cake

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake

Howdya do howdya do howdya do

Had you dropped me a letter

I'd a hired a band grandest band in the land

Had you dropped me a letter I'd a hired a band

And spread the welcome mat for you

Oh I don't know where you came from

'Cause I don't know where you've been

But it really doesn't matter

Grab a chair and fill your platter

And dig dig dig right in

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake

Hired a band goodness sake

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake

Howdya do howdya do howdya do

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake

Baked a cake baked a cake

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake

Howdya do howdya do howdya do

Had you dropped me a letter I'd a hired a band

Grandest band in the land

Had you dropped me a letter I'd a hired a band

Spread the welcome mat for you

Oh I don't know where you came from

'Cause I don't know where you've been

But it really doesn't matter

Grab a chair and fill your platter

And dig dig dig right in

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake

Hired a band goodness sake

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake

Howdya do howdya do howdya do

Howdya do howdya do howdya do

Howdya do ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
