if I gotta suffer....you gotta suffer!
If I Only Had a Brain
I could while away the hours
Conferring with the flowers
Consulting with the rain.
And my head I'd be a-scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel every riddle
For any individdle
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts I'd be a-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'd 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 laugh and I'd be merry
Life would be a dinglederry
If I only had 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!
