I keep hearing you're concerned about my happiness But all that thought you're giving me is conscience, I guess If I were walking in your shoes I wouldn't worry none While you and your friends are worrying 'bout me, I'm having lots of fun
Counting flowers on the wall That don't bother me at all Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51 Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo So don't tell me I've nothing 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 doing fine You can always find me here and having quite a time
Counting flowers on the wall That don't bother me at all Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51 Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo So don't tell me I've nothing 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
Counting flowers on the wall That don't bother me at all Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51 Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo So don't tell me I've nothing to do
