If Only I Had a Brain Songtext / Lyric

I could wile away the hours

Conferring with the flowers

Consulting with the rain

And my head I'd be scratching

While my thoughts were busy hatching

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 thinking

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 nothing

My head all full of stuffing

My heart all full of pain

Perhaps I deserve you

And be even worthy serve you

If I only had a brain



I could wile away the hours

Conferring with the flowers

Consulting with the rain

And my head I'd be scratching

While my thoughts were busy hatching

If I only

If I only had a brain
