If I Only Had A Brain Harold Arlen, 'Yip' Harburg, The Wizard of Oz, Ray Bolger, Phish

I could while away the hours,
Conversin’ 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 ev’ry riddle, for any individ’al, In trouble, or in pain.
With the thoughts I’d be thinkin’  I would 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’d 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.

 
 
If I Only Had a Heart
 
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 who shoots the arrows
If I only had a heart
 
Picture me - A balcony
Above a voice sings low
Where for art thou, Romeo?
I hear a beat
How sweet
 
Just to register emotion
Jealousy, devotion
And really feel the part
I could stay young and chipper
And I’d lock it with a zipper
If I only had a heart 

 
If I Only Had the Nerve 

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,
Never more be scared of rabbits,
If I only had the nerve
 
I’m afraid there’s no denying, 
I’m just a dandelion, a fate I don’t deserve.
But I could show my prowess,
be a lion not a meowess, 
If I only had the nerve.
 
Oh, I’d be in my stride, a king down to the core.
I could roar a way I never roared before,
And then I’d... RRWWWWWWOOOOF!
And roar some more!!
 
I could show the dinosaurus
Whose king around the forest
A king they better serve.
Why with my regal beezer
I could be another Caeser
If I only had the nerve!
