Subject:  Seeking Song : "The Best Gift"

Doesn anyone know if the sheet music or any kind of recorded accompaniment
exists to a song called "The Best Gift"? It's a song recorded by Barbra
Streisand in her 1967 "A Christmas Album," (lyrics are below) and one of my
students is expecting and very much wants to sing this song for
Christmas.:-) Any help is much appreciated.

THE BEST GIFT

The best gift
That I ever got
Didn't really weigh a lot
It didn't have a ribbon 'round
And it sometimes made the terrible sound
The best of all it seems to me

It wasn't neath the Christmas tree
And yet, I guess I'd have to say
That it made all the other presents twice as gay
The best gift that I've ever known
I'd always wanted most to own
Yet in my dreams of sugar and spice
I never thought it could be so nice

The best gift that I ever get
Was sometimes dry and sometimes wet
Was usually pink but oftentimes red As it
lay so innocently in its bed

The best gift of the year to me
The one I hold most dear to me
A gift that simply drove me wild
Was a tiny new born child...
