Jim Ed Brown - Flowers On The Wall lyrics

rate me

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

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

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

Don't tell me

I've nothin' to do

--- Instrumental ---

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

Don't tell me

I've nothin' to do

Don't tell me

I've nothin' to do...
