If I Knew You Were Coming I'd've Baked a Cake Songtext
von Gracie Fields

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.
