video song from The Wizard of Oz (1939) film, sung by Ray Bolger as the Scarecrow and Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale, music by Harold Arlen, lyrics by E.Y. Harburg
Lyrics
DOROTHY: Well,
 what would you do with a brain if you had one?
SCARECROW: Do? Why, if I had a brain, I could...
SCARECROW [singing]:
 I could while away the hours
/ Conferring with the flowers
/ Consulting 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
/ DOROTHY [singing]:
/ With the thoughts you'd be thinkin'
/ You could be another Lincoln
/ If you only had a brain
/ SCARECROW [singing]:
/ 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
