I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness
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 having lots of
fun

Countin' 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, having quite a time

Countin' 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

Well, 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
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

Now, countin' 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

Don't tell me I've nothing to do
