If I Only Had A Brain

Said a scarecrow, leaning on a pole To a blackbird sittin' on a fence Well, the lord gave me a soul But forgot to give me common sense If I only had an ounce of common sense 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 every individual 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 thought before And 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 And perhaps I'd deserve you And be even worthy of you If I only had a brain... Oh I could tell you why The ocean is near the shore I could think of things of things that I've never thought before I 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 of you If I only had a brain If I only had a brain If I only had a brain
