flowers on the wall

i keep hearing you're concerned about my happiness

but all the 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 'bout no

i'm having lots of fun

counting flowers on the wall

that don't bother me at all

playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty one

smoking cigarettes and watching captain kangaroo

now don't tell me i've nothing to do

last night i dressed in lace pretending i was on the town

as long as i can dream

it's hard to show this swinger down

so please don't give a thought to me

i'm really doing fine

you can always find me here

and having quite a time

counting flowers on the wall

that don't bother me at all

playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty one

smoking cigarettes and watching captain kangaroo

now don't tell me i've nothing 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 down street

so' i must go back to my room and make my day complete

counting flowers on the wall

that don't bother me at all

playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty one

smoking cigarettes and watching captain kangaroo

now don't tell me i've nothing to do

don't tell me i've nothing to do

don't tell me i've nothing to do
