#1.
G Em
I keep hearing you're concerned about my happiness.
A D
But all that thought you're giving me is conscience,
I guess.
G Em
If I were walking in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none.
A
While you and your friends are worrying about me, I'm
D
having lots of fun.
CHORUS:
Em
Counting flowers on the wall,
That don't bother me at all.
Playing solitaire till dawn, with a deck of 51.
C
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo,
D D7 D
now don't tell me..I've nothing to do.
#2.
G Em
Last night I dressed in tails pretended I was on the town.
A D
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down.
G Em
So, please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doing fine.
A D
You can always find me here, I'm having quite a time.
CHORUS:
Em
Counting flowers on the wall,
That don't bother me at all.
Playing solitaire till dawn, with a deck of 51.

Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo,

G Em
It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright.
A D
Anyway, my eyes are not accustomed to this light.
G Em
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete.
A D
So, I must go back to my room and make my day complete.
CHORUS:
Em
Counting flowers on the wall,
That don't bother me at all.
Playing solitaire till dawn, with a deck of 51.

Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo,
D D7 D
now don't tell me..I've nothing to do.
D D7 D
Now, don't tell me...I've nothing to do.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
