If I Only Had A Brain lyrics by Judy Garland & Ray Bolger

If I Only Had A Brain - Judy Garland & Roy Bolger

1. Strophe
D Bm Em7 A
I could wile away the hours conferring with the flowers,
D
consulting with the rain.
G A
And my head I'd be scratching while my thoughts were busy hatching
D
if I only had a brain.

2. Strophe
D
I'd unravel every riddle for any individual in trouble or in pain.
G A
With the thoughts you'd be thinking you could be another Lincoln
D Am D
if you only had a brain.

Bridge:
G F#m Em7 A D
Oh I could tell you why the ocean's near the shore.
F7sus4 F Bm
I could think of things I never thought before,
E A
and then I'd sit and think some more.

3. Strophe
D Em7 A
I would not be just a nothing, my head all full of stuffing,
D
my heart all full of pain.
G A
I would dance and be merry, I would be the king of Derry
D
if I only had a brain.

We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz,

we hear he is the whiz of the whiz if ever a whiz there was.

If ever a whether a whiz there was, the wizard of Oz is one because,

because, because, because, because,

because of the wonderful things he does.

We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz..!
