Flowers on the Wall

(Lew DeWitt)



I've been hearing you're concerned about my happiness

But all that 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're worrying 'bout me I'm having lots of fun/



Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all

Playing solitare till dawn with a deck of fifty one

Smokin' 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 slow 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.



Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all

Playing solitare till dawn with a deck of fifty one

Smokin' 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.



Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all

Playing solitare till dawn with a deck of fifty one

Smokin' 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...
