WellnowI been hearin' you're concerned about my happiness

But all a' that thought you're a-givin' me is conscienceI guess

If I was walkin' in your shoes I wouldn't worry none

So you and your friends don't worry 'bout meI'm havin' lots of fun



[chorus]

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 a-nothin' to do



Last night I dressed in tails pretendin' I was on the town

As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this cowboy down

So please don't give a thought to me I'm really doin' fine

And you can always find me here and havin' quite a time



[chorus]

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 a-nothin' to do



Wellit's good to see youI must goI know I look a fright

Wellany ol' way my eyes are not accustomed to this light

And my boots are not accustomed to this kind a' street

So I must go back to my room and make my day complete



[chorus]

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 a-nothin' to do

A-don't tell me I've a-nothin' to do
