Flowers on the Wall

(Lew DeWitt)



I've been hearin' 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 worryin' bout me I'm having lots of fun.



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

Playin' solitare till dawn with a deck of fifty one

Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo

Now, don't tell me I've nothing to do, don't tell me I've nothing 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 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

Playin' solitare till dawn with a deck of fifty one

Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo

Now, don't tell me I've nothing to do, don't tell me I've nothing to do.

It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look afright

Anyway my eyes are not a custom to the slight

And my shoes are not a custom to this hard time 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' solitare till dawn with a deck of fifty one

Smoking 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...
