If only I could...

 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 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 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.
