Verse 1

  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

Verse 2

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]

Verse 3

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
