If I Knew You Were Coming I'd Have Baked a Cake

If I Knew You Were Coming I'd Have Baked a Cake - Eileen Barton/Frankie laine

Come in Well well well Look who's here

I haven't seen you in many a year

If I knew you were coming

I'd've baked a cake baked a cake baked a cake

If I knew you were coming

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 coming

I'd've baked a cake hired a band goodness sake

If I knew you were coming

I'd've baked a cake

Howdya do howdya do howdya do

If I knew you were coming

I'd've baked a cake baked a cake baked a cake

If I knew you were coming

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 coming

I'd've baked a cake hired a band goodness sake

If I knew you were coming

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
