If I Only Had A Brain is a song sung by the Scarecrow to Dorothy Gale as he tells what he would do if he had a brain.
Lyrics[]
(Scarecrow)
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'al
In trouble or in pain
(Dorothy)
With the thoughts you'll be thinkin'
You could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain
(Scarecrow)
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 you
And be even worthy of you
If I only had a brain
