I could while away the hours,
Conferring with the flowers,
Consulting with the rain.
(Hello flowers, Hello rain!)
And my head I'd be scratching,
While my thoughts were busy hatching,
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel every riddle,
For any individ'le,
In trouble or in pain.
(Ooh, Aah)
With the thoughts I'd be thinking,
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 thunk before,
And then I'd sit and think some more,
I would not be just a nothin',
My head all full of stuffing',
My heart all full of pain,
(Eee, Ooo)
Perhaps I deserve you,
And be even worthy 'erv you
If I only had a brain!
I could while away the hours,
Conferring with the flowers,
Consulting with the rain.
(Hello flowers, Hello rain!)
And my head I'd be scratching,
While my thoughts were busy hatching,
If I only had a brain!
