If I Only Had A Brain/heart/nerve Lyrics - Singles - Wizard Of Oz

Brain 

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 individ'le, 

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. 

I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry, 

If I only had a brain. 

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 kind-a-human, 

If I only had 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 boys who 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 could stay young and chipper 

and I'd lock it with a zipper, 

If I only had a heart. 

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 denyin' I'm just a dandelion, 

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 

I would roar the way I've never roared before 

And then I'd rrrwoof! and roar some more 

I would show the dinosaurus who's king around the forres' 

A king they better serve 

Why with my regal beezer I could be another Caesar 

If I only had the nerve
