If I Only Had a Brain" (also "If I Only Had a Heart" and "If I Only Had the Nerve") is a song by Harold Arlen (music) and Yip Harburg (lyrics). The song is sung in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz by the character Scarecrow , played by Ray Bolger , when he meets Dorothy , played by Judy Garland .
This stage adaptation omits the Wicked Witch's scene of threatening Dorothy, Scarecrow and Tin Man while being on top of the Tin Man's wooden cottage following this musical number. The line about suggesting to the Cowardly Lion to count sheep prior to the musical number "If I Only Had the Nerve" is spoken by Dorothy rather than the Tin Man.
The Cowardly Lion is the only character who sings two solo song numbers: "If I Only Had the Nerve" (performed after the initial meeting with Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man in the forest) and "If I Were King of the Forest" (performed while he and the others are awaiting their audience with the Wizard.)
