Kay Kyser & His Orchestra - If I Only Had a Brain
If I only had a brain
Well, Harry Babbitt
We got quite a problem here, son
Let's talk it over
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
Why I'd unravel every riddle
For most any individual
In trouble or in pain
And with the thoughts, I'd be thinkin'
"I can be another Lincoln"
If I only had a brain
Oh, I could tell you why
The ocean's so near the shore
I could think of things I never thought before
And then I'd sit and think some more
Why I would not be just a nothin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain
And perhaps I'd deserved you
And even be worthy of you
If I only had a brain
Oh, if I only had a brain
