Well now I've been hearin' you're concerned about my happiness
But all of that thought you've given me is
conscience I guess
If I were walkin' in your shoes I wouldn't worry none
So you and your friends don't worry 'bout me I'm havin' lots of fun

Countin' flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till 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 pretending I was on the town
as long as I can dream it's hard to slow this cowboy down
So please don't give a thought to me
I'm really doing fine
And you can alwaysf ind me here and havin' quite a time

Countin' flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn
With a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin captain
Kangaroo
Now don't tell me
I've nothin' to do

Well please forgive me I must go I know I look afright
By the way my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my boots are not accustomed
to this kind of street
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 till dawn
With a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin captain
Kangaroo
Now don't tell me
I've nothin' to do

No don't tell me
I've nothin' to do
