Lyrics C. W. McCall – Flowers On The Wall
Text:
Well, now, I been hearin’ you’re concerned about my happiness
But all a’ that thought you’re a-givin’ me is conscience, I guess
If I was walkin’ in your shoes I wouldn’t worry none
So you and your friends don’t worry ’bout me, I’m havin’ lots of fun
Countin’ flowers on the wall
That don’t bother me at all
Playin’ solitaire ’til dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin’ cigarettes and watchin’ Captain Kangaroo
Now don’t tell me I’ve a-nothin’ to do
Last night I dressed in tails pretendin’ I was on the town
As long as I can dream it’s hard to slow this cowboy down
So please don’t give a thought to me I’m really doin’ fine
And 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 ’til dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin’ cigarettes and watchin’ Captain Kangaroo
Now don’t tell me I’ve a-nothin’ to do
Well, it’s good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
Well, any ol’ way my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my boots are not accustomed to this kind a’ 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’ solitaire ’til dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin’ cigarettes and watchin’ Captain Kangaroo
Now don’t tell me I’ve a-nothin’ to do
A-don’t tell me I’ve a-nothin’ to do
