If I Knew You Were Comin', I'd've Baked A Cake

If I Knew You Were Comin', I'd've Baked A Cake - Benny Strong & His Orchestra

Written by：Al Hoffman

Well well well look who's here

I haven't seen you in many a year

How ja do how ja do how ja do

How ja do how ja do

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

Baked a cake baked a cake

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

How ja do how ja do how ja do

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

Grandest band in the land

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

And spread the welcome mat for you

Now 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 have baked a cake

Hired a band goodness sake

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

How ja do how ja do how ja do

Now 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 have kept the pot

Coffee pot nice and hot

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

How ja do how ja do how ja do

How ja do how ja do how ja do

How ja do how ja do di do di do di do
