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 . . . Music by Harry Warren With lyrics by Johnny Mercer
