I keep 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 are worrying 'bout me, I'm having lots of fun.
chorus
Counting flowers on the wall, That don't bother me at all.
Playing solitaire till dawn, with a deck of fifty-one.
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo.
Now 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.
It's good to see you out although, 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.
