You must have been a beautiful baby You must have been a wonderful child When you were only starting to go to kindergarten I bet you drove the little boys wild And when it came to winning blue ribbons You must have shown the other kids how I can see the judges' eyes as they handed you the prize I bet you made the cutest bow Oh you must've been a beautiful baby 'Cause baby look at you now
Does your mother realize The stork delivered quite a prize The day he left you on the family tree? Does your dad appreciate That you're merely super great The miracle of any century? If they don't just send them both to me
You must have been a beautiful baby You must have been a wonderful child When you were only starting to go to kindergarten I bet you drove the little boys wild And when it came to winning blue ribbons You must have shown the other kids how I can see the judges' eyes as they handed you the prize I bet you made the cutest bow Oh you must've been a beautiful baby 'Cause baby look at you now.
