If I Only Had a Brain - The Film Musical Collection

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!
