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! )
