If I Only Had A Brain (Extended Version) Lyrics by Ray Bolger, Judy Garland

The Wizard of Oz (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [Deluxe Edition]

1939

[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'd be thinkin'
You could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain
[SCARECROW]
Oh, I would 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
[INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE]
Gosh, it would be awful pleasin'
To reason out the reason
For things I can't explain
Then perhaps I'll deserve ya
And be even worthy of ya
If I only had a brain
