I could wile away the hours
Conferring with the flowers
Consulting with the rain
And my head I'd be scratching
While my thoughts were busy hatching
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 thinking
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 nothing
My head all full of stuffing
My heart all full of pain
Perhaps I deserve you
And be even worthy serve you
If I only had a brain
I could wile away the hours
Conferring with the flowers
Consulting with the rain
And my head I'd be scratching
While my thoughts were busy hatching
If I only
If I only had a brain
