If I Knew You Were Coming I'd Have Baked a Cake Lyrics

If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a cake,
Baked a cake, baked a cake.
If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a cake,
How'd ja do, how'd ja do, how'd ja do.
Had you dropped me a letter I'd have hired a band,
Grandest band in the land.
Had you dropped me a letter I'd have hired a band,
And welcome mat for you.

Well I don't know where you come from,
And 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 coming I'd have baked a cake,
Hired a band, goodness sake!
If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a cake,
How'd ja do, how'd ja do, how'd ja do.

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker man,
Bake the cake as quick as you can
Plenty of cream and sugar, nice!
Nuts and raisins and honey and spice
Had you dropped me a letter I'd have hired a band,
Grandest band in the land.
Had you dropped me a letter I'd have hired a band,
And spread the welcome mat for you

If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a cake,
Baked some cookies, baked some cookies,
If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a cake,
How'd ja do, how'd ja do, how'd ja do.
Had you dropped me a letter I'd have hired a hall,
Great big hall, man them all.
Had you dropped me a letter I'd have hired a hall,
And spread the welcome mat for you.)

Now I don't know where you come 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 coming I'd have kept the pot,
happy pot,nice and hot
If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a cake,
How'd ja do, how'd ja do, how'd ja do!
How'd ja do, how'd ja do, how'd ja do!
