Lyrics and translation
Original
Yes, I did dance with your mother before I knew her name
Before I knew her name
Before I knew
Had a laugh with your mother, went on our first date
I said "I'm glad you came"
She said "I feel the same"
So how about that now
Baby (baby)
What a beautiful thing
I said Baby (baby)
What a beautiful thing
I got wild with your mother, ended on the bed
She said "kiss me on the neck"
So I kissed her neck
Took like really no time with your mother
You had bigger plans
I said that "I'm half a man–
And darling I can't, or maybe I can?"
How can you know
Baby (baby)
That's a beautiful thing
How could you know?
Baby
And what a beautiful thing
So I touched her belly about a million times
Lord
"How long until you land, okay?
Because we're waiting for you, Baby"
Went to chat with your mother, then the doctor came
I said the doctor came
And I said "Hey, Doc..."
Tried to laugh with my baby, then she made that face
I said if I could take your pain you know I would
You know I wo–
"Here comes your baby!"
That's a beautiful thing
I'm with it now, Baby
What a beautiful thing
I said "what about Baby–
That's a pretty good name"
"I said what about Baby
That's a pretty good name"
