Accompaniment:
Lyrics
Does your mother realize
The stork delivered quite a prize
The day he left you on the fam’ly 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
Refrain
You must have been a beautiful baby
You must have beena wonderful child
When you were only startin’ to go to kndergarten
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 judges 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
