If I Only Had a Brain

I could wile 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'le

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 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

Perhaps I deserve you

And be even worthy erve you

If I only had a brain

I could wile 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

If I only had a brain
