The Wizard Of Oz: 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 individ'le
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 oceans near the shore
I could think of things I'd never thunk before
And then I'd sit down and think some more
I would not be just a muffin'
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 ya
And be even worthy of ya
If I only had a brain
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 individ'le
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 oceans near the shore
I could think of things I'd never thunk before
And then I'd sit down and think some more
I would not be just a muffin'
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 ya
And be even worthy of ya
If I only had a brain
