I could while away the hours   Conferrin' with the flowers   Consultin' with the rain   And my head, I'd be scratchin'   As my thoughts were busy hatchin'   If I only had a brain       I'd unravel ev'ry riddle   For every individ'le   In trouble or in pain   In my head 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'd never thunk before   Then I'd sit, and think some more   Oh I could tell you why   The ocean's near the shore   I could think of things I'd never thunk before   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   And perhaps I'd deserve you   And be even worthy of you   If I only had a brain       Ohh.....   Words by E.Y.
