Lyrics
I keep hearin’ you’re concerned about my happinessBut all that thought you’re givin’ me is conscience I guessIf I were walkin’ in your shoes, I wouldn’t worry noneWhile you and your friends are worried about me, I’m havin’ lots of funCountin’ flowers on the wallThat don’t bother me at allPlayin’ solitaire ’til dawn with a deck of 51Smokin’ cigarettes and watchin’ Captain KangarooNow don’t tell me, I’ve nothin’ to doLast night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the townAs long as I can dream it’s hard to slow this swinger downSo please don’t give a thought to me, I’m really doin’ fineYou can always find me here, I’m havin’ quite a timeCountin’ flowers on the wallThat don’t bother me at allPlayin’ solitaire ’til dawn with a deck of 51Smokin’ cigarettes and watchin’ Captain KangarooNow don’t tell me, I’ve nothin’ to doIt’s good to see you, I must go, I know I look a frightAnyway my eyes are not accustomed to this lightAnd my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concreteSo I must go back to my room and make my day completeCountin’ flowers on the wallThat don’t bother me at allPlayin’ solitaire ’til dawn with a deck of 51Smokin’ cigarettes and watchin’ Captain KangarooNow don’t tell me, I’ve nothin’ to doDon’t tell me, I’ve nothin’ to do
