If I Only Had a Brain / We’re Off to See the Wizard Lyrics by Paul Keating, Danielle Hope

The Wizard of Oz (2011 London Palladium Recording)

2011

[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'le
In trouble or in pain
[DOROTHY]
With the thoughts you'll be thinkin'
You could be another Lincoln
[BOTH]
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 nuffin'
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
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
Gosh, it would be awful pleasing
To reason out the reason
The things I can't explain
Then perhaps, I'd deserve ya
And be even worthy of ya
If I only had a brain
[DOROTHY]
We're off to see the wizard
The wonderful wizard of Oz
We hear he is a wizard of whiz if ever a wiz there was
If ever oh ever a wiz there was the wizard of Oz is one because
[BOTH]
Because, because, because, because, because...
Because of the wonderful things he does
We're off to see the wizard
The wonderful wizard of Oz!
