If I Knew You Were Comin’, I’dve Baked A Cake

Lyrics

Why, hello girls. Now don't make a fuss Is only me your uncle Plopping Fuss Uncle Plopping Fuss? Gee, you're looking swell I guess you didn't hear me when I rang the bell 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 Well howdya do, howdya do, howdya 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 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 Oh Howdya do, howdya do, howdya do How long you gonna stay with us, uncle dear? Oh not too long, it's about a year You mean to say you're gonna stay [?] We can put him in the attic but is cold as ice I'll be comfy in the barn cause I'm the earthy kind Well we'll tell you frankly uncle that the pigs would mind Now we'd really love to have you but you better go Oh that's a shame because I came to leave you all my dough 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 Howdya do, howdya do, howdya do? Had you dropped me a letter, I'd've a-hired a hall Great big hall, band and all Had you dropped me a letter, I'd've a-hired a hall And spread the welcome mat for you How are things in Clumpy Valley I recall each here and there Are the farmers busy farming? Are the people still as charming? Is the major still in jail? 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 Howdya do, howdya do Howdya do, howdya do Well howdya do, howdya do, howdya do Howdya do
