Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
And when it came to winnin' blue ribbons
You must've 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
[Verse 2]
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?
[Verse 3]
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
And when it came to winnin' blue ribbons
You must've 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
