Flowers

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

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

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

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

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
