Well, well

Hello john, look who's here

I have'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 to do? How to do? How to 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 to do? How to do? How to 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 to do? How to do? How to 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 baked a cake

Hired a band, goodness sake

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake

How to do? How to do? How to do?
