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 worryinbout me i’m havin’lots of fun
countin’ flowers on the wall that don’t bother me at all
playin’ solitaire ’til dawn with a deck of fiftyone
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
countin’ flowers on the wall that don’t bother me at all
playin’ solitaire ’til dawn with a deck of fiftyone
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
countin’ flowers on the wall that don’t bother me at all
playin’ solitaire ’til dawn with a deck of fiftyone
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
