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 worryin' about 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 (now don't tell me)
I've nothin' to do (I've nothin' to do)

Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town (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 'til dawn with a deck of fifty-one (fifty-one)
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me (now don't tell me)
I've nothin' to do (I've nothin' to do)
No, don't tell me, yeah
I got nothin' 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 (accustomed to this light)
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
(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 (bother me at all)
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn with a deck of fifty-one (fifty-one)
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me (now don't tell me)
I've nothin' to do (got nothin' to do)
Now don't tell me (now don't tell me)
I've nothin' to do (got nothin' to do)
