If I Knew You were Comin - Eileen Barton

If I Knew You Were Comin' (I'd've Baked A Cake)
(Hoffman / Merrill / Watts)

If I Knew You were Coming Lyrics

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?
