I been hearin' your concern about my happiness   But all that thought you've given me, is conscience I guess   If 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
