jackson browne – if i only had a brain lyrics

Loading...

(from the soundtrack alb-m the wizard of oz in concert: dreams do come true; performed by jackson browne backed by ry cooder & david sanborn)

see, i can’t scare anybody.
they come from miles around
to laugh in my face and eat in my field.

said a scarecrow swinging on a pole,
to some blackbirds sittin’ on a fence,
“oh, the lord gave me a soul,
but, forgot to give me common sense.”

said the blackbirds, “well, well, well.
what the thunder would you do with common sense? ”
said the scarecrow,”would be pleasin’
just to reason out the reason
of the wishes and the whyness and the whence”

if i had an once of common sense…
(if he had an ounce of common sense)

(well, what would you do scarecrow? “)

i would while away the hours
conferin’ 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 every 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 sh-r-.
i could think of things i never thought before,
then i’d sit– and think some more.

i would not be just a nothin’,
my head all full of stuffin’,
my heart all full of pain.
i would dance and by merry,
life would be a dingle derry,
if i only had a brain.

if i only had a brain–
(if he only had a brain.)

i could tell you why
the ocean’s near the sh-r-.
i could think of things i never thought before
and then i’d sit– and think some more.

ya, it would be kind of pleasin’
to reason out the reason,
for the things i can’t explain.
then perhaps i’d deserve you,
and be even worthy of you,
if i only had a brain.

i could dance and by merry,
life would be a dingle derry,
if i only had a brain.

if i only had a brain.
(if he only had a brain.)
