If I Only Had a Brain Songtext
von Ray Bolger

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 you'll be thinkin′
You could be another Lincoln If you 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.
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain.


Dance Break
Gosh it would be awful pleasin'
To reason out the reason
For things I can't explain.
Then perhaps I′ll deserva ya
And be even worthy ′erv ya
If I only had a brain!
