Intro:
I could while away the hours conferrin with the flowers,
Consulting with the rain;
And my head I d be a scratchin while my thoughts were busy hatchin
if I only had a brain.
I d unravel ev ry riddle for any individdle
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts that I d be thinkin , I could be another Lincoln
if I only had a brain.
Bridge:
Oh, I--could tell you why - - the ocean s near the shore,
I could think of things I d 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
(Whistle over verse chords)
(Bridge)
(Last verse)
And perhaps I d deserve you and be even worthy erv you
If I only had a brain.
