You say it's your birthday...


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GARY!
I hear this song in my head when I think of you.

"You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby"
lyrics by Mercer & Warren, 1938

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 girls 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
You must have made the cutest bow.
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 supergreat
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
You must've been
A beautiful baby
Cause baby
Look at you now.
