If I knew you were coming I'd would bake a cake

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