I keep hearing
You're concerned about my happiness
All that thought
You're giving me is conscience I guess
If I was walking in your shoes
I wouldn't worry none
While you and your friends
Are worried about 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
I'm 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
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 till dawn
With a deck of fifty-one
Smoking cigarettes
And watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothing to do
But don't tell me
I've nothing to do
