I could while away the hours conferring with the flowers
Consulting 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 individdle
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts I'd be thinkin' I could be another Lincoln
If I only had a brain
I could tell you why, why the ocean is near the shore
I'd think of things I'd never thunk before
And then I'd sit and think some more
I'd not be just a nuffin', my head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain
I'd dance and be merry
Life would be a dingaderry
If I only had a brain
Oh I could tell you why, why the ocean is near the shore
I'd think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit and think some more
I'd not be just a nuffin', my head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain
And at last I could love you
And be even worthy of you
If I only
If I only
If I only had a brain
