If I Only Had a Brain

I could while away the hours

Conferrin' with the flowers

Consulting with the rain

And my head I'd be a scratchin'

While my thoughts are busy hatchin'

If I only had a brain

I'd unravel ev'ry riddle

For any individdle

In trouble or in pain

With the thoughts I'd be thinkin'

I 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'd 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

Oh, I could tell you why

The ocean's near the shore

I could think of things I'd 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

I'd be flittin' like a fairy

Every day a bowl of cherries

If I only had a brain
