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
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
And perhaps I'd deserve you and be even worthy erv you
If I only had a brain
