The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
