G Em
I keep hearin your concern about my happiness
A D
But all that thought youve given me is conscience I guess
G Em
If I were walkin in your shoes, I wouldnt worry none
A
While you and your friends are worryin about me,
D
Im havin lots of fun
Chorus:
Em
Countin'''' flowers on the wall,
Em D/F# Em
that dont bother me at all
Em
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn,
Em D/F# Em
With a deck of fifty-one
C
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
D C D
Now don't tell me I've nothin' 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
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
C D C D
Don't tell me I've nothin to do
Repeat Part 2 of Intro
