C                                  Ami
I've been hearin' you're concerned about my happiness
   D7                                   G
But all that thought you're givin' me is conscience, I guess
    C                            Ami
If I were walkin' in your shoes I wouldn't worry none
     D7                                              G
While you and your friends are worryin' 'bout me, I'm havin' lots of fun

        Ami
Countin' flowers on the wall that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty one
       F
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
              G   F                G
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 doin' fine
You can always find me here and havin' quite a time

Countin' flowers on the wall that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' 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 concrete
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' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
F             G   F                G
Now don't tell me, "I've nothing to do"
F             G   F                G
Now don't tell me, "I've nothing to do"
