Lyric Flowers On The Wall
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
