Flowers on the Wall

c. 1966 Written by Lew DeWitt
Originally recorded by The Statler Brothers.
I been hearin’ your concern about my happiness
But all that thought you’ve given me, is conscience I guess
If I were walkin’ in your shoes, I wouldn’t worry none
While you and your friends are worryin’ ’bout me
I’m havin’ lots of fun
Countin’ flowers on the wall, that don’t bother me at all
Playin’ solitaire ’til dawn, with a deck of 51
Smokin’ cigarettes and watchin’ Captain Kangaroo
Now don’t tell me
I’ve nothin’ to do
Last night, I got dressed up, 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
Countin’ flowers on the wall, that don’t bother me at all
Playin’ solitaire ’til dawn, with a deck of 51
Smokin’ cigarettes and watchin’ Captain Kangaroo
Now don’t tell me
I’ve nothin’ to do
