=================================================
Come in,
Well, well, well
Look who's here
I haven't seen you in many a year
If I knew you were coming
I'd've baked a cake,
baked a cake, baked a cake
If I knew you were coming
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, fill your platter
and dig, dig, dig right in
If I knew you were coming
I'd've baked a cake,
hired a band, goodness sake
If I knew you were coming
I'd've baked a cake
Howd ya do, howd ya do, howd ya do
If I knew you were coming
I'd've baked a cake,
baked a cake, baked a cake
If I knew you were coming
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, fill your platter
and dig, dig, dig right in
If I knew you were coming
I'd've baked a cake,
hired a band, goodness sake
If I knew you were coming
I'd've baked a cake
Howd ya do, howd ya do, howd ya do
Howd ya do, howd ya do, howd ya do
Howdya do ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
