Lyrics
Oh… you know, you know, you know, you know…
You must a been a beautiful baby
You must a been a beautiful child
When you were only startin’
To go to kindergarten
I bet you drove those other childs wild!Oh yeah… oh yeah… oh yeah…
An’ when it came to winnin’ blue ribbons
Well… I bet you taught the other kids how
Well, I can see the judge’s eyes
As they handed you the prize
I bet you took the cutest bow!Yeah! You must a been a beautiful baby
’cause baby won’t you look at you now.Oh yeah… oh yeah… oh yeah…
You must a have been a beautiful baby
You must a have been a beautiful child
When you were only startin’To go to kindergarten
I know you drove the other childs wild.
An’ I wasn’t even there.An’ when you came to winnin’ blue ribbons
Hey… I know you taught those other kids how
Well, I can see the judge’s eyes
As they handed you the prize
