I been hearin' your concern about my happiness But all that thought you've given me, is conscience I guessIf I were walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none While you and your friends are worryin' 'bout 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 fifty-one Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo Now don't tell me, I've nothin' to do Last night I got dressed up, 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 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 And anyway, my eyes are not accustomed to this light And my boots 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 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
