I keep 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 

(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 nothin' 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 doin' fine 
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 nothin' 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 

(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 nothin' to do 
Now don't tell me 
I've nothin' to do
