Eddy Arnold - You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby Lyrics






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

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

    Here is the lyrics, for anyone wanting to learn this song.



    You must have been a beautiful baby
    You must have been a wonderful child
    When you were only starting to go to kindergarten
    I bet you drove the little boys wild
    And when it came to winning blue ribbons
    You must have shown the other kids how
    I can see the judges' eyes as they handed you the prize
    I bet you made the cutest bow
    Oh you must've been a beautiful baby
    'Cause baby look at you now
    Does your mother realize
    The stork delivered quite a prize
    The day he left you on the family tree?
    Does your dad appreciate
    That you're merely super great
    The miracle of any century?
    If they don't just send them both to me
    You must have been a beautiful baby
    You must have been a wonderful child
    When you were only starting to go to kindergarten
    I bet you drove the little boys wild
    And when it came to winning blue ribbons
    You must have shown the other kids how
    I can see the judges' eyes as they handed you the prize
    I bet you made the cutest bow
    Oh you must've been a beautiful baby
    'Cause baby look at you now

    Did this song randomly come into anyone’s head ? It did for me lol super random

  5. F.... P....

    I used to lived in a house built in 1935, surely this song must have echoed through the walls from the first owners.

    But when it comes to cartoon versions of Bing Crosby we often heard him go "You Must've Been a Beautiful Baby, boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop."

  10. B.... F....

    Johnny Mercer....best song writer ever!

  11. A.... R....

    I was introduced to this from Disney Sing Along Songs, the Flik one.

    Hickock?

    Nice songs of a time long gone, since it was before World War II. Songs of the sort my late Dad used to hear. And they are still good to hear, when one is tired of the vulgarities and obscenities in most of today's songs.

  20. D.... H....

    Smoothest voice of all time. No dumb ass video game, goofy movie, or stupid ass hip hop sample brought me here. It's my great memory of a great artist, with me living an ordinary every day life. Thanks for the upload and great music.

  21. M.... K....

    I wonder if Bobby Darin listened to this rendition of Beautiful Baby by Crosby.

  22. J.... H....

    im 23 and im sooo attracted to jazz and 35 style etc...dunno why

    J.... H....

    One possible explanation has to do with reincarnation: We want to re-experience what we enjoyed in past lives. A bizarre notion, I admit.

  23. D.... ....

    Que linda <3

  24. R.... S....

    In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, Dick whistling "You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby"

    King Bing.The greatest of them all.

  28. m.... f....

    Gene Wilder and Christine Lahti brought me here 💕

  32. t.... m....

    You must have been a beautiful fetus

    t.... m....

    LOL love it

  33. I.... ....

    So is it disappointing that when I hear this tune all I can think of Tex Avery cartoons? Or is it a good thing?

    I.... ....

    Ibhenriksen I do too :)

  40. B.... K....

    Are the lyrics creepy to anyone else? lol

    B.... K....

    bittykay kinda. I mean, it's got traces of pedophilia and weird child puppy love stuff so I get it

    B.... K....

    Nope. I find them adorable. For all I understood they mean a young woman who, as a little girl, got admirers among little boys both by her appearence and qualities too. :)

    B.... K....

    Any guy who sees a beautiful woman and starts wondering about how she looked like as a kid is pretty suspect.

  41. D.... S....

    Who came here from looney tunes?

    D.... S....

    Many of us, I suppose. :D

    D.... S....

    Or Tiny Toon Adventures: "You must have been a beautiful PIT-BULL..."

    Yes, "Rabbit Seasoning"... He looked pretty lovely in that disguise. ;)

  46. T.... ....

  66. T.... L....

  67. H.... D....

    if Morgan brought you here, then Fuck you, fuck Morgan. Go fuck yourselves you classless, uneducated, uncultured dumb fucks.. I'm out.

    H.... D....

    @Twenty One Chauffeurs hence my agitation.

    H.... D....

    @Hat Duken So type out your story, then.

    H.... D....

    @Twenty One Chauffeurs I don't have a story. I like this song, because I have heard it before and I know who Bing Crosby is.

    H.... D....

    @Hat Duken So why judge everyone else? It doesn't make any sense.

    H.... D....

    All I'm hearing is "I got something in my front pocket for you"

  76. s.... ....

    Warner Bros. utilized this music a lot during its 1940s and 50s Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes shorts.

    s.... ....

    spindalis79 I heard it in A few Tiny toon adventures episodes as well

    s.... ....

    This song makes me think of Tom and Jerry when Tom is singing to the other lady cat while he's in his zoot suit

    s.... ....

    "Is you is or is you aint my baby" one of my favorites....tom and jerry

    s.... ....

    @Orson Welles Also French Rarebit when Bugs Bunny dressed that Chef Francois to look like a rabbit.

    s.... ....

    That's how I got here. Love it!

  77. s.... l....

    everyones commenting how there grandparents sung them this song. i wish my grandparents introduced me to great music like this. this is freaking amazing!!!

  78. h.... ....

    Written by two of the musical greats, music by Harry Warren and lyric by Johnny "Cloud Man" Mercer.  And with a send-off by Bing Crosby, how could it have missed?  The melody in the verse is eerily similar to a small portion of melody from Harry's very first copyrighted piece of music (1919), a slow-mid tempo tune (with lyrics also by Harry) titled "I Learned To Love You (When I Learned My ABC's)."  Harry was toling in 1919 to provide for his wife and brand new son, and turned to songwriting (and later song plugging, then back to songwriting).  By the time "You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby" was written in middle to late 1938, that only son of Harry's had died, and surely Harry was thinking about his very first song when he wrote this one.

  79. B.... ....

    My grandfather on my dad's side dedicated this song to me. It makes me happy. <3

    B.... ....

    Smooth. @Figura Sombría

    B.... ....

    Bing Cosby on the behalf of your grandfather dedicated this song to you....because you are!

  80. D.... F....

    can you give me a baby pic of yourself?

  82. o.... ....

    He looks like a banana

    o.... ....

    *talks to a mirror*

  83. W.... F....

    i am in tears now. my great grandpa sang this to me all the time, and also right before he died. i'm gonna flood my room with tears of mixed emotions.

  84. D.... ....

    This should be an anthem as I see all the birthday kiddie pics on Facebook.

  85. C.... A....

    my grandfather used to sing this to me :) and before he passed he sang it to me in the hospital bed when we were alone. I miss him dearly.

  86. V.... V....

    , mom was the stork, and should dad be jealous or use boy for an earning.?

  87. E.... ....

    Dick Hickock brought me here

    E.... ....

    It'd kind of amazing that you posted this 1 hour ago and I'm here holding In Cold Blood in my hands right after reading about Hickock singing this song in jail...

  88. T.... ....

    This song is fucking creepy. How did they get away with this shit in the 30's?

  89. j.... ....

    Learned this one in the second grade at Sacred Heart School in Plainfield, NJ circa 1958. These days I sing it for birthday people who visit our stores (Kelley's Beach Liquors & Wine Merchants) in Destin and FWB. Always a Big Hit! Thank You Harry Warren & Johnny Mercer! (And Der Bingle is THE BEST!)

  92. T.... D....

    The best combination in American pop music - lyrics by Johnny Mercer and song sung
    by Bing Crosby. So many happy, clever songs.
