Well, now, I been hearin youre concerned about my happiness
But all a that thought youre a-givin me is conscience, I guess
If I was walkin in your shoes I wouldnt worry none
So you and your friends dont worry bout me, Im havin lots of fun

[chorus]
Countin flowers on the wall
That dont bother me at all
Playin solitaire til dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin cigarettes and watchin captain kangaroo
Now dont tell me Ive a-nothin to do

Last night I dressed in tails pretendin I was on the town
As long as I can dream its hard to slow this cowboy down
So please dont give a thought to me Im really doin fine
And you can always find me here and havin quite a time

[chorus]
Countin flowers on the wall
That dont bother me at all
Playin solitaire til dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin cigarettes and watchin captain kangaroo
Now dont tell me Ive a-nothin to do

Well, its 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 dont bother me at all
Playin solitaire til dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin cigarettes and watchin captain kangaroo
Now dont tell me Ive a-nothin to do
A-dont tell me Ive a-nothin to do
