You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby
Journey from Adorable Child to Timeless Beauty
Lyrics
You must have been a beautiful baby,
You were likely an attractive baby.
You must have been a wonderful child
You must have been an exceptional child.
When you were only startin'
Referring to the early years when you were beginning.
To go to kindergarten
Indicates the time when you started going to kindergarten.
I bet you drove the little boys wild!
Suggests that you likely attracted attention and admiration from other children.
An' when it came to winning blue ribbons,
Implies you excelled in competitions, particularly in winning blue ribbons.
You must have shown the other kids how
Highlights your superiority over other kids in some way.
I can see the judge's eyes
Suggests a vivid image of judges acknowledging your achievements.
As they handed you the prize
Visualizes the moment of receiving a prize and recognition.
I bet you made the cutest bow!
Implies that even your manner of receiving awards was charming.
Oh! You must have been a beautiful baby,
Reiterates the idea of your beauty during infancy.
'cause baby look at you now
Reflects on how you've grown from a beautiful baby to your current state.
Does your dad appreciate
Questions whether your father recognizes your greatness.
That you are merely great?
Asks if your qualities are appreciated by others.
Does your mother realize
Inquires whether your mother acknowledges your visual appeal.
You're such a treat for the eyes?

You must have been a beautiful baby,
Repeats the idea of your early attractiveness.
You must have been a wonderful child
Reiterates that you were an exceptional child.
When you were only startin'
Recalls the time when you first attended kindergarten.
