Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I keep hearing your concern about my happiness
All that thought you've given me is conscience, I guess
If I were walking in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
While you and your friends are worried about me
I'm having lots of fun
[Verse 2]
Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn
With a deck of fifty-one
Smoking cigarettes
And watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me
I've nothing to do
[Verse 3]
Last night I dressed in tails, pretended 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 doing fine
You can always find me here and having quite a time
[Verse 4]
Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn
With a deck of fifty-one
Smoking cigarettes
And watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me
I've nothing to do
[Verse 5]
Well, 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
[Verse 6]
Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn
With a deck of fifty-one
Smoking cigarettes
And watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me
I've nothing to do
Don't tell me
I've nothing to do
