The Scarecrow's Verse

from Howdy by Perdy Slow

/

lyrics

Music by Harold Arlen and Lyrics by Yip Harburg:

"I would while away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain

And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts they would be hatchin'
If I only had a brain

I'd unravel every riddle
For every individdle
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'd 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 could dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain"
