I could wile 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 could ravel every riddle
For every 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 thinks I'd never thunk before.
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.
Then perhaps I'd deserve you
And be even worthy erv you...
If I only had a brain.
