Wizard Of Oz - If I Only Had A Brain/Heart/Nerve Lyrics
BrainI could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowersConsultin' with the rain.And my head I'd be scratchin' whileMy 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 you'll be thinkin'You could be another LincolnIf you 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 nothin' 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.______________________________HeartWhen 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 sentimentalRegarding Love and Art.I'd be friends with the sparrows ...And the boys who shoots the arrowsIf 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 chipperAnd I'd lock it with a zipper,If I only had a heart._____________________________The NerveYeh, it's sad, believe me, Missy,When you're born to be a sissyWithout the vim and verve.But I could show my prowess, be a lion not a mou-essIf I only had the nerve.I'm afraid there's no denyin' I'm just a dandelion,A fate I don't deserve.I'd be brave as a blizzard....I'd be gentle as a lizard....I'd be clever as a gizzard....If the Wizard is a Wizard who will serve.Then I'm sure to get a brain, a heart, a home, the nerve!
