Verse 1
(Lew DeWitt)
Verse 1
[C]I keep hearin' you're concerned [Am]about my happiness
But [D7]all that thought you've given me is [G]conscience I guess
If I [C]were walkin' in your shoes, I [Am]wouldn't worry none
While [D7]you and your friends are worryin' 'bout me, I'm [G]havin' lots of fun
Chorus
Countin' [Am]flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' [F]cigarettes and watchin' "Captain Kangaroo"
Now don't tell [G]me
[F]I've nothin' to [G]do
Verse 2
[C]Last night I dressed in tails, pretended [Am]I was on the town
[D7]As long as I can dream it's hard to [G]slow this swinger down
[C]So please don't give a thought to me, [Am]I'm really doin' fine
[D7]You can always find me here and [G]havin' quite a time
Chorus
Countin' flowers [Am]on the wall, that don't bother me at all
[Am]Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' [F]cigarettes and watchin' "Captain Kangaroo"
Now don't tell [G]me
[F]I've nothin' to [G]do
Verse 3
[C]It's good to see you, I must go, I [Am]know I look a fright
[D7]Anyway, my eyes are not [G]accustomed to this light
[C]And my shoes are not accustomed [Am]to this hard concrete
[D7]So I must go back to my room and [G]make my day complete
Chorus
Countin' [Am]flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
[Am]Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' [F]cigarettes and watchin' "Captain Kangaroo"
Now don't tell [G]me
[F]I've nothin' to [G]do
Coda
[F]Don't tell [G]me
[F]I've nothin' to [G]do
