"If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd've Baked A Cake" lyrics
Lisa Loeb & The Hollow Trees Lyrics
(originally by Eileen Barton)
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
How-ja do. How-ja do. How-ja do
How-ja do. How-ja do. How-ja do
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
How-ja do. How-ja do. How-ja do
How-ja do. How-ja do. How-ja do
