Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness
But all the thought you're givin' me is conscience, I guess
If I were walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
While you and your friends are worryin' 'bout me,I'm havin' lots of fun
[Chorus]
Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do
[Verse 2]
Last night I dressed in tails pretendin' I was on the town
As long as I can dream, it's hard to slow this swinger down
So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine
You can always find me here and havin' quite a time
[Chorus]
Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do
[Verse 3]
It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
Anyway, my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete
[Chorus]
Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do
[Outro]
Don't tell me I've nothin' to do
