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, Howja do, Howja do, Howja
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, Howja do, Howja do, Howja
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, Howja do, Howja do, Howja
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. Chorus
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, Howja do, Howja do, Howja
do.
