 If you dropped me a letter,
 Me would hire a band (1 band)
 Hire a band (2 bands)

 And spread the welcome mat for you
 (Thank you very much)
 
 Now me don't know where
 You came from (over there!)
 And me don't know where
 You've been (I've been counting)
 But it really doesn't matter
 Grab a chair and fill your platter
 And dig, dig, dig right in (3 digs)
 
 If me knew you were coming
 Me'd would baked a cake (1 cake)
 Baked a cake (2 cakes)

 How'd you do, how'd you do, how'd you do
 (Three more how'd you do's)
 
 Now me don't know where
 You come from (I told you, over there)
 And me don't know where you been
 (Counting, of course)
 But it really doesn't matter
 Grab a chair and fill your platter
 And dig, dig, dig right in (3 wonderful digs)
 
 If me knew you were coming
 Me'd have baked a cake (1 cake)
 Baked a cake (that's 2 cakes)
 Baked a cake (that's 3)
 If me knew you were coming
 Me'd have baked a cake (4 cakes)
 How'd you do, how'd you do, how'd you do?

 How'd ya do, how'd you do, how'd you do?

 How'd you do, how'd you do, how'd you do?
 (Ah, that's 13, 14, 15 how'd you do's)

 Count: Ah, thank you very much
 
 Cookie: Me sing so good, me deserve cookie
