IF I KNEW YOU WERE COMIN'
4/4 1...2...123
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, 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've baked a cake, hired a band, goodness sake
If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake, howd-ya do, howd-ya do, howd-ya do
