Well, now, i been hearin' you're concerned about my happiness

But all a' that thought you're a-givin' me is conscience, i guess

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

So you and your friends don't worry '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 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



Well, it's good to see you, i must go, i know i look a fright

Well, any 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
