Sides face grand square
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 (Allemande and weave)
Oh, I would 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

Heads square thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a right hand star
The heads star left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a dosado
Swing thru and then the boys trade
Swing the corner lady round and promenade
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit, and think some more

Sides face grand square
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 (Allemande and weave)
Oh, I would 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

Sides face grand square
I would not be just a nuthin' 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 (Allemande and weave)
Oh, I would 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

Sides face grand square
Gosh it would be awful pleasin' to reason out the reason
For things I can't explain
Then perhaps I'll deserve ya, and be even worthy of ya
If I only had a brain
