IF I ONLY HAD A BRAIN (IF I ONLY HAD A HEART)(IF I ONLY HAD THE NERVE) Words by E.Y. Harburg, music by Harold Arlen - from The Wizard Of Oz
(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 individle In trouble or in pain With the thoughts I'd be thinkin', I could be another Lincoln 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.
I would not be just a nuffin', My head all full of stuffin' My heart all full of pain And perhaps I'd deserve you And be even worthy of you If I only had a brain.
(Tin Woodsman) When a man's an empty kettle He should be on his mettle And yet I'm torn apart Just because I'm presumin' That I could be kinda 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 low & Wherefore art thou, Romeo? & I hear a beat How sweet!
Just to register emotion, Jealousy, devotion And really feel the part I would stay young and chipper And I'd lock it with a zipper If I only had a heart.
(Cowardly Lion) Life is sad, believe me missy, When you're born to be a sissy Without the vim and verve But I could change my habits, Nevermore be scared of rabbits If I only hard the nerve.
I'm afraid there's no denyin' I'm just a dandylion A fate I don't deserve But I could show my prowess, Be a lion not a mowess If I only had the nerve.
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 rrrwoof And roar some more.
I would show the dinosaurus Who’s king around the fores' A king they'd better serve Why with my regal beezer, I could be another Caesar If I only had the nerve.
