Rich 047 the Joyce Wallace Case 3 12 50
"If I Knew You Were Coming, I'd Have Baked a Cake" is a fun, lighthearted song about being surprised by an unexpected visitor. The singer wishes they had known ahead of time that someone was going to stop by, because they would have prepared something special—specifically, they would have baked a cake to welcome them. The song captures that feeling of wanting to make a good impression and show hospitality when guests arrive, but being caught off guard without having made any treats or preparations. It's a cheerful tune that plays on the idea of wanting to do something nice for someone you care about.
