1162. I’D HAVE BAKED A CAKE 1950 l
IF I KNEW YOU WERE COMIN’
I’D HAVE BAKED A CAKE,
BAKED A CAKE, BAKED A CAKE.
IF I KNEW YOU WERE COMIN’
I’D HAVE BAKED A CAKE.
HOW JA DO, HOW JA DO, HOW JA DO?
HAD YOU DROPPED ME A LETTER
I’D HAVE HIRED A BAND,
GRANDEST BAND IN THE LAND.
HAD YOU DROPPED ME A LETTER
I’D HAVE 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 l KNEW YOU WERE COMIN’
I’D HAVE BAKED A CAKE,
HIRED A BAND, GOODNESS SAKE.
IF I KNEW YOU WERE COMIN’
I’D HAVE BAKED A CAKE.
HOW JA DO, HOW JA DO, HOW JA DO?
