-6 -6   -5* -5   -6  -6   -5*
I keep hear-in' your con-cern 
-5  7   3  3  -2  3
a-bout my hap-pi-ness 
 3   7   7    -6     -5*    7  7  -6 -5*
But all the thought you've giv-en me is, 
-7     7   -6  -5*
Con-science I guess 
-5-6  -6   -5* -5  -6  -6   -5*
If I were walk-in' in your shoes, 
-5  7    3   3  -2   3
I would-n't wor-ry none 
  3    7  -6    7     -6  
While you ‘n’ your friends 
 6   7   -6     7   -6
are wor-ryin' 'bout me, 
 6  -7  -6   7   -5 -5*
I'm hav-in' lots of fun 

--Chorus 

-3*   -3    3  -1  -1  1*  -1
Count-in' flow-ers on the wall, 
-3*   -3    3   -1 -1 1* -1
that don't both-er me at all 
-3*  -3   3 -1  -1     1*  -1
Play-in' sol-i-taire 'til dawn, 
-3* -3   3  -1  -1 1* -1
with a deck of fif-ty-one 
 -1  -1  -1*-1*  -1*  -1*  -1* -1*
Smok-in' cig-a-rettes and watch-in' 
-1*  -1* -1* -1 -1*
Cap-tain Kan-ga-roo 
-1   -1*  -1*  -2
Now don't tell me 
-1*  -1* -1* -1* -2
I've noth-in' 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 

--Chorus 
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 nothin' 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 

--Chorus 
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 

-1   -1*  -1*  -2
Now don't tell me 
-1*  -1* -1* -1* -2
I've noth-in' to do

  3    3   -3
Don't tell me 
 3    3    3  3  -3
I've noth-in' to do
