Intro

| D7 | D7 |

Verse 1

I keep hearing you're concerned about my happiness
But all that thought you're giving me is conscience, I guess
If I were walking in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
While you and your friends are worrying about me,
I'm having lots of fun

Chorus

Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn, with a deck of 51
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
D7 N.C.
Now don't tell me... I've nothing to do

Verse 2

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 doing fine
You can always find me here, I'm having quite a time

Chorus

Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn, with a deck of 51
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
D7 N.C.
Now don't tell me... I've nothing to do

Verse 3

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
I must go back to my room and make my day complete

Chorus

Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn, with a deck of 51
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
D7 N.C.
Now don't tell me... I've nothing to do
D7 N.C.
Don't tell me.... I've nothing to do
