i keep hearing you’re concerned about my happiness
but all the 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 ’til 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 pretending 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 ’til 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 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 ’til 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
don’t tell me i’ve nothing to do
