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
