IF I ONLY HAD A BRAIN .......

Why did the scarecrow win a prize?
Because he was outstanding in his field.

How I wish this post hadn't put me in mind of the scarecrow in THE WIZARD OF OZ - now I can't stop singing the song .....


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 you'll be thinkin'
you could be another Lincoln
If 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.

I enjoyed this! I must learn the words because I hum this tune and sing "If I only had a brain" all the time. It is the only line I ever remember, I wonder if I can fit all those lines in my little tiny bear brain. After all, it is very difficult to be a bear of such very little brain!

Cute song, but I'm REALLY glad I don't know it so it won't get stuck in my head. LoL

How cute! I've never liked Wizard of Oz much. It terrified me when I was 5 - I was afraid of the tornado and the monkeys. The movie still disturbs me. I dislike E.T. for the same reason.

You know that you have an evil streak for putting that song into all of our heads, right? *L*
