If I Only Had a Brain

I could while away the hours

Conferrin with the flowers

Consultin with the rain

And my head I'd be scratchin

While my thoughts were busy hatchin

If I only had a brain

I'd unravel any riddle

For any individd-el

In trouble or in pain

With the thoughts you'd be thinkin

You could be another Lincoln

If I only had a brain

Oh I could tell you why

The ocean's near the shore

I could think of things I never thunk before

And then I'd sit and think some more

I would not be just a nothin

My head all full of stuffin

My heart all full of pain

I would dance and be merry

Life would be a ding-a-derry

If I only had a brain

Gosh it would be awful pleasin'

To reason out the reason

For things I can't explain

Then perhaps I'll deserve your

And be even worthy of your

If I only had a brain
