I keep hearin' your concern about my happiness
but all that thought you've given 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 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
smokin' cigarettes and watchin' captain kangaroo
now don't tell me
i've nothin' to do
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 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 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
smokin' cigarettes and watchin' captain kangaroo
now don't tell me
i've nothin' to do
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 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
smokin' cigarettes and watchin' captain kangaroo
now don't tell me
i've nothin' to do
now don't tell me
i've nothin' to do
