If I only had a Brain

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, B+ 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; And perhaps I'd deserve you and be even worthy erv you If I only had a brain.
