Lyrics

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 fifty-one
 Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
 Now 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 fifty-one
 Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
 Now don't tell me I've nothing to do.
 It's good to see you out although 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 fifty-one
 Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
 Now don't tell me I've nothing to do...
