Bing recorded "You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby" on Oct. 14, 1938. It entered the charts in December, where it remained for 11 weeks, including two weeks at the top.You must have been a beautiful babyYou must have been a wonderful childWhen you were only starting to go to kindergartenI bet you drove the little boys wild.And when it came to winning blue ribbomsYou must have shown the other kids how.I can see the judges' eyes as they handed you the prizeYou must have made the cutest bow.You must've been a beautiful baby'Cause baby look at you now.Does your mother realizeThe stork delivered quite a prizeThe day he left you on the family tree?Does your dad appreciateThat you're merely supergreatThe miracle of any century?If they don't just send them both to me.You must have been a beautiful babyYou must have been a wonderful child.When you were only starting to go to kindergartenI bet you drove the little boys wild.And when it came to winning blue ribbomsYou must have shown the other kids how.I can see the judges' eyes as they handed you the prizeYou must have made the cutest bow.You must've been a beautiful baby'Cause baby look at you now.-------------------------------------------------------
