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'd be thinkin' You could be another Lincoln If you only had a brain
Oh, I would 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
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
