If I Only Had A Brain
Video: link to the cut from Wizard of Oz

(crow lands on scarecrow's shoulder
pecks at his straw then flies off)

"You see? I can't even scare a crow.
They come for miles around
just to eat in my field and laugh in my face.
Oh, I'm a failure
because I haven't got a brain."

"Well, what would you do with a brain if you had one?"

"Do???
Why, if I had a brain I could...

I could while away the hours
Conferring with the flowers
Consulting with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatching
If I only had a brain.

I'd unravel every riddle
For any individle
In trouble or in pain

With the thoughts you'd 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'd never thunk before
And 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
I would dance and be merry
Life would be a dingaderry
If I only had a brain"
