I keep hearing you're concerned about my happiness
But all that thought you're giving me is conscience I guess
If I was walking in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
While you and your friends are worried '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, I'm having quite a time
Chorus
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
Chorus
Don't tell me I've nothing to do!
