You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby

You must have been a beautiful baby,

you must have been a wonderful child . . .

When you were only startin'

to go to kindergarten

I bet you drove the little boys wild!



An' when it came to winning blue ribbons,

you must have shown the other kids how . . .

I can see the judge's eyes as they handed you the prize

I bet you made the cutest bow!



Oh!, You must have been a beautiful baby,

'cause baby look at you now . . .



Does your dad appreciate

that you are merely great?

Does your mother realize

you're such a treat for the eyes?



You must have been a beautiful baby,

you must have been a wonderful child . . .

When you were only startin'

to go to kindergarten

I bet you drove the little boys wild!



An' when it came to winning blue ribbons,

you must have shown the other kids how . . .

I can see the judge's eyes as they handed you the prize

I bet you made the cutest bow!



Oh!, You must have been a beautiful baby,

'cause baby look at you now . . . ( she's a cutie! )

baby look at you now . . .
