Song lyrics to ‘If I Only Had a Brain,’ sung by Jack Haley in ‘The Wizard of Oz’
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 kind-a 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--
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 chipper
And I’d lock it with a zipper
If I only had a heart.
