Song by Eileen Barton<br /><br>

[Spoken:]<br>

Come in<br>

Well, well, well, look who's here<br>

I haven't seen you in many a year<br>

<br>

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake<br>

baked a cake, baked a cake<br>

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake<br>

Howd-ya do, howd-ya do, howd-ya do<br>

Had you dropped me a letter, I'd a-hired a band<br>

Grandest band in the land<br>

Had you dropped me a letter, I'd a-hired a band<br>

And spread the welcome mat for you<br>

<br>

Oh, I don't know where you came from<br>

'cause I don't know where you've been<br>

But it really doesn't matter<br>

Grab a chair and fill your platter<br>

And dig, dig, dig right in<br>

<br>

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake<br>

Hired a band, goodness sake<br>

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake<br>

Howd-ya do, howd-ya do, howd-ya do<br>

<br>

[Instrumental Interlude]<br>

<br>

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake<br>

baked a cake, baked a cake<br>

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake<br>

Howd-ya do, howd-ya do, howd-ya do<br>

<br>

Had you dropped me a letter<br>

I'd a-hired a band<br>

Grandest band in the land<br>

Had you dropped me a letter<br>

I'd a-hired a band<br>

Spread the welcome mat for you<br>

<br>

Oh, I don't know where you came from<br>

'Cause I don't know where you've been<br>

But it really doesn't matter<br>

Grab a chair and fill your platter<br>

And dig, dig, dig right in<br>

<br>

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake<br>

Hired a band, goodness sake<br>

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake<br>

Howd-ya do, howd-ya do, howd-ya do<br>

<br>

Howd-ya do, howd-ya do, howd-ya do<br>

Howd-ya do-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh<br>

<br>
