If I Only Had a Brain (Live)

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 you'd be thinkin'

You could be another Lincoln

If you only had a brain

Oh, I would 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

Gosh, it would be awful pleasin'

To reason out the reason

For things I can't explain

Then perhaps I'll deserve ya

And be even worthy of ya

If I only had a brain
