If I Only Had a Brain song lyrics from The Wizard of Oz
Scarecrow (Ray Bolger)
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 ev’ry riddle
For any individ’le
In trouble or in pain
Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland)
With the thoughts you’d be thinkin’
You could be another Lincoln,
If you only had a brain.
Scarecrow (Ray Bolger)
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 nothin’
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–Whoa!
