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 individual
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
