Wonderful baby, livin' on love

the sandman says maybe he'll take you above

up where the girls fly on ribbons an' bows

where babies float by jus' countin' their toes!



Wonderful baby, nothin' but new

the world has gone crazy, I'm glad I'm not you

at the beginning, or is it the end?

Goes in and comes out, an' starts all over again!



( Wonderful baby, livin' in love

the sandman says maybe he'll take you above )

up where the girls fly on ribbons an' bows

where babies float by just countin' their toes!



Wonderful baby, I'll watch while you grow

If I knew the future, you'd be first to know

but I don't know nothin' of what life's about

just as long as you live, you'll never find out!



Wonderful baby, nothin' to fear

love whom you will but doubt what you hear

they'll whisper sweet things an' make you untrue

so be good to yourself, that's all you can do



( Wonderful baby . . . wonderful baby! )



. . . up where the girls fly on ribbons an' bows

where babies float by just countin' their toes!

where babies float by just countin' their toes!



( Wonderful baby . . . wonderful baby! )
