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 every riddle
For any individ’el,
In trouble or in pain.
With the thoughts
You’ll be thinkin'
You could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain.
Oh, I could tell you why
The ocean’s near the shore.
I could think of things
I never thought 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.
Oh, I could tell you why
The ocean’s near the shore.

I never thought before.
And then I’d sit,
And think some more.

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.
