Well, if I had a brain, I could 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'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 nuffin' 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.
