Consulting with the rain;

if I only had a brain.

I'd unravel ev'ry riddle for any individdle

In trouble or in pain

Oh, I--could tell you why - - the ocean's near the shore,

And then I'd sit and think some more.
G Em
I would not be just a nuffin', my head all full of stuffin',

My heart all full of pain;

If I only had a brain

If I only had a brain.
