The Scarecrow's song in the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz' is sung by Dorothy Gale and the Scarecrow. It occurs not too long after the meeting of the two subsequent friends. It deals with the Scarecrow's wish to have the brain that he unknowingly has already. The words are the following: I could while away the hours,/Conferring' 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./ Dorothy sings, 'With the thoughts you'll be thinkin'/You could be another Lincoln/If you only had a brain'. The Scarecrow then sings, 'Oh, I could tell you why/The ocean's near the shore/I could think of things I never thunk before,/And then Id sit -- and think some more./I would not be just a nuffin'/My head all full of stuffin'/My heart all full of pain./I would dance and be merry...'.
That he would have stayed brainless in a cornfield without Dorothy in the book and that he should have thought of Dorothy's lesson himself in the film are what the Scarecrow says at the end of "The Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, Glinda the Good explains that the magic shoes have the power to get Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto back home. Dorothy just needs to accept the truth of that power and in fact could have left the minute that she had the shoes. The Scarecrow therefore observes in the book that he would have remained brainless in a cornfield had that happened. In the movie, he says that he should have known what she needed to know to get back home.
