Johnny Mercer
You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby
(Chorus)
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 winning blue ribbons
You must have shown the other kids how
I can see the judge's eyes
When he 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)
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 are merely super-great
The miracle of any century?
If they don't, just send them both to me

(Chorus)
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 winning blue ribbons
You must have shown the other kids how
I can see the judge's eyes
When he 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
