I keep hearin` you`re concerned 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
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 doin` fine
You can always find me here and havin` quite a time
[repeat chorus]
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
[repeat chorus]
Coda:
Don`t tell me
I`ve nothin` to do
