If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd've Baked A Cake - Maria Muldaur

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

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 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

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 Howd-ya do, howd-ya do, howd-ya do Howd-ya do-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
