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 individual   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 thought 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   Perhaps I deserve you   And be even worthy of you   If I, if I only had a brain
