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