If I Only Had A Brain

Said a scarecrow leanin' 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

Conferin' 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 is 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 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

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
