The Wizard of Oz: If I Only Had a Brain Songtext

von Ray Bolger

Well, if I had a brain, I could
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 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 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.
