Lyrics

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.
