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
ribboms
You must have shown the other
kids how.
I can see the judges' eyes as
they handed you the prize
You must have made the cutest
bow.
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 supergreat
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
ribboms
You must have shown the other
kids how.
I can see the judges' eyes as
they handed you the prize
You must have made the cutest
bow.
You must've been a beautiful
baby
'Cause baby look at you now.
