Scarecrow:
if i only had a brain
i could while away the hours,
conferring 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 individual,
in trouble or in pain.
Dorothy:
with the thoughts you'll be thinking
you could be another Lincoln,
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 nothing,
my head all full of stuffing,
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.
