spoken: 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?
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
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?
howdya do, howdya do, howdya do?
howdya do-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
