I would 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 individle, In trouble or in pain. With the thoughts you could be thinkin’, you could be another lincoln, If you 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, 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. I would dance and by merry, Life would be a dingle derry, If I only had a brain.
