If I Knew You Were Comin’ I’d’ve Baked a Cake Songtext
von Eileen Barton with The New Yorkers

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
Howd-ya do, Howd-ya do, Howd-ya 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′ve baked a cake
Hired a band, goodness sake
If I knew you were comin' I′d've baked a cake
Howd-ya do, Howd-ya do, Howd-ya 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
Howd-ya do, Howd-ya do, Howd-ya 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've baked a cake
Hired a band, goodness sake
If I knew you were comin′ I′d've baked a cake
Howd-ya do, Howd-ya do, Howd-ya do,
Howd-ya do, Howd-ya do, Howd-ya do
Howd-ya do, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
