Connick, Jr., Harry - If Only I Had A Brain Lyrics
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
I'd unravel any riddle
For any individd-el
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
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
Perhaps I deserve you
And be even worthy erve you
If I only had
If I only had a brain

Ewwww. Harry is kinda creepy
very possibly the best musical thing he ever did
When my heart finds Christmas isn't bad either.
good inclusion
beautiful
This guy is a total fraud. He's not from New Orleans! He's from Weston, CT, where he attended public school from 1970-1982. He's a product of nepotism in that his father is or was one of the bigwigs at Sony Music and a stockholder in Sony Pictures.
I first tried to , as you requested google him as harry connick jr Weston ct. and I found zero, next I tried the online year book as you suggested and found zero. so where else should I look? and my question is 1 he has a great voice , 2 plays music better than most why should I care if he's from NOLA or the UK (I don't really care) I just listen to the music .so why should I care ? and why after what 20 years in the biz is, you are the only one to say anything? can I ask you is the moon landing real or fake ? just asking
And, he's a great arranger. I think this guy is a troll who gets off on tweaking people. Pathetic.
I don’t give a sh|¥ if he was born on Mars, he is one of the greatest singer, artist in my time. I know when he was very young, he was blowing people away in New Orleans. Loved him then , love him now. SO BITE ME! Let’s hear what you got be och!
Does it matter where he is from? He hasn’t killed anyone, sold dugs to kids or committed acts of paedophilia so what’s the big deal?
you appear to be a very bitter person, hope you managed to turn your life around in the past 2 years; if your bitterness has not already led you to an early grave.

"Perhaps I'd deserve you, and be even worthy of you"...yup, it's a love song.
Sorry. The title I referenced for Jeremy Little is Sun Up, Wake Up. Several youtube videos of JL's songs are kicking around. Post if you agree with me about his version of "If I Only Had a Brain". Very nice acoustic guitar accompaniment.
I love this version. Harry is awesome. But I like Jeremy Little's version the best. Jeremy is more of a recording artist than a stage performer. VERY good. Do a search. He is not the guy with the same name from Malaysia who died recently. This JL is USA born and based. I know he's on Facebook. Check him out. Wake Up(Almost Human TV show episode) If I Only Had a Brain (Fringe TV show episode). Versatile and successful in his own niche in music.
@Big Dave Yes! Jeremy Little's version is tops!
Brings back memories. Love his version.
Connick breaks free of Ray Bolger, and sings this standard the way it should be sung: as a lament. To my knowledge, only Paula West does it as well. I would post her version if I only had a brain. Thank you for posting this.
I could hear how this might be a love song. If he messed up with a girl he really liked, then he may feel like he had no brain, and is singing his despair as if to confirm his thoughts. I don't believe this is the case though. The lyrics easily work as a sad song, and that seems to me what this is.
fireball111121 I know she hadn’t been created when this song was written, but maybe he’s singing about his past with Elphaba
Maybe he didn't intend it as a love song. Maybe he felt a little sad now and then . . .
Breathtaking. Thank you so much .
His version always brings tears to my eyes; so sweet and sad!
awesome piece...
how can anyone in there right mind give this a thumbs down?
I heard this version some years ago I love it such a great job.
Im reading your comment some years in the future and STILL a great song
One of my favorite by him.
Love this version! Thanks for posting.
brings back memories-scare crow wizard of oz
Thank you
fantastic.
Awesome rendition of this song. Thank you for posting.
It's a great song, I sing it in the stairwells at work! But, not slow, the movie version.
