I could while away the hours
Confer in with the flowers
Consulting with the 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 in the middle
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts I'd be thinking
I could be another linking
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 nothing
My head all full of stuffing
My heart all full of the pain
And perhaps I deserve you
And be even worthy of you
If I only had a brain
When a man's an empty kettle
He should be on his medal
And yet I'm torn apart
Just because I'm presuming
That I could be kind of human
If I only had a heart
I'd be tender I'd be gentle and awful
Sentimental regarding love and art
I'd be friends with the sparrows
And the boy that shoots the arrows
If I only had a heart
Picture me a balcony above
A voice sings so low
Wherefore art thou romeo
I hear a beat how sweet
I would register emotion
Jealousy devotion
I'd really feel the part
I would stay young and chipper
And I'd lock it with a zipper
If I only had a heart
Gee it's sad believe me
Missy when you're born to be a sissy
Without the vim and five
But I could change my habits
Never more be scared of rabbits
If I only had a knife
I'm afraid there's no denying I'm just
I am afraid I don't deserve
But I could show my powers
Be a lion not a mouse
If I only had the knife
Oh I'd be in my stride
A king down to the core
Oh I'd roar the way I never roared before
And then I'd woof and roar some more woof
I would show the dinosaurus
Why with my regal beser
I could be another caesar
If I only had another
