Flowers On The Wall

(album: C. W. McCall & Co. - 1979)

Well, now, I been hearing you're concerned about my happiness
But all a' that thought you're a-giving me is conscience, I guess
If I was walking in your shoes I wouldn't worry none
So you and your friends don't worry 'bout me, I'm having lots of fun

Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire 'til dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've a-nothing to do

Last night I dressed in tails pretending 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 doing fine
And you can always find me here and having quite a time

Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire 'til dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've a-nothing 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

Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire 'til dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've a-nothing to do
A-don't tell me I've a-nothing to do
