If I Knew You Were Coming Songtext
von Fred Penner

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
How-ja do. How-ja do, How-ja do

Had you dropped me a letter I′d 've hired a band
Grandest band in the land
Had you dropped me a letter I′d 've 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 've baked a cake
Hired a band, goodness sake
If I knew you were comin′ I'd ′ve baked a cake
How-ja do. How-ja do. How-ja 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
How-ja do. How-ja do, How-ja do

Had you dropped me a letter I'd ′ve hired a hall
Great big hall, band and all
Had you dropped me a letter I'd ′ve hired a hall
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 ′ve kept the pot
Coffee pot nice and hot
If I knew you were comin' I′d 've baked a cake
How-ja do. How-ja do. How-ja do
