[Verse 1]
G Em
I keep hearing you're concerned about my happiness
A7 D
But all that thought you're giving me is conscience,
I guess.
G Em
If I were walking in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
A7
While you and your friends are worrying about me,
D
I'm having lots of fun
[Chorus]
Em
Counting flowers on the wall,
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn, with a deck of 51
C
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo,
D D7 D
Now don't tell me... I've nothing to do
[Verse 2]
G Em
Last night I dressed in tails pretended I was on the town
A7 D
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
G Em
So, please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doing fine
A7 D
You can always find me here, I'm having quite a time
[Chorus]
Em
Counting flowers on the wall,
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn, with a deck of 51
C
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo,
D D7 D
Now don't tell me... I've nothing to do
[Verse 3]
G Em
It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
A7 D
Anyway, my eyes are not accustomed to this light
G Em
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
A7 D
So, I must go back to my room and make my day complete
[Chorus]
Em
Counting flowers on the wall,
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn, with a deck of 51
C
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo,
D D7 D
Now don't tell me... I've nothing to do
D D7 D
Now, don't tell me.... I've nothing to do
