Lou Monte - If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd've Baked a Cake

Lyrics

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.
