| [Verse 1]
 | 
| 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
 | 
| [Verse 2]
 | 
| Last night I got dressed up, 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
 | 
| [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
 | 
| 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 |
