I Could Be Another Lincoln

A fortuitous choice of costumes. We didn't hear the lyrics until later...

From 10-25-08

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 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 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.
