I keep hearin´ you´re concerned about my happiness
But all that thought you´re givin´ me is conscience I guess
If I was walkin´ in your shoes, I wouldn´t worry none
While you ´n´ your friends are worried about me I´m havin´ lots of fun

Countin´ flowers on the wall
That don´t bother me at all
Playin´ solitaire till 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, I´m havin´ quite a time

Countin´ flowers on the wall
That don´t bother me at all
Playin´ solitaire till 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

Countin´ flowers on the wall
That don´t bother me at all
Playin´ solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin´ cigarettes and watchin´ Captain Kangaroo
Now don´t tell me I´ve nothin´ to do

Don´t tell me I´ve nothin´ to do
