You Must Have Been
a Beautiful Baby
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 . . .
< instrumental >
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 . . .
~ from the 1938 Hollywood
