[Sound of knocking on door]
|
|
[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
|
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
|
|
[Instrumental Interlude]
|
|
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
