Il testo della If i only had a brain

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 individual
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

Gosh, it would be awful pleasin'
To reason out the reason
For things i can't explain

Then perhaps i'll deserve your
And be even worthy of your
If i only had a brain
