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'll 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 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.   _      When a man's an empty kettle he should be on his mettle,   And yet I'm torn apart.   Just because I'm presumin' that I could be kind-a-human,   If I only had heart.   I'd be tender - I'd be gentle and awful sentimental   Regarding Love and Art.   I'd be friends with the sparrows ...    and the boys who shoots the arrows   If I only had a heart.   Picture me - a balcony. Above a voice sings low.   Wherefore art thou, Romeo? I hear a beat....   How sweet.   Just to register emotion, jealousy - devotion,   And really feel the part.   I could stay young and chipper    and I'd lock it with a zipper,   If I only had a heart.   _      Yeah, it's sad, believe me, Missy,    When you're born to be a sissy   Without the vim and verve.   But I could show my prowess, be a lion not a mou-ess   If I only had the nerve.   I'm afraid there's no denyin' I'm just a dandelion,   A fate I don't deserve.   I'd be brave as a blizzard...   I'd be gentle as a lizard...   I'd be clever as a gizzard...   If the Wizard is a Wizard who will serve.   Then I'm sure to get a brain, a heart, a home, the nerve!
