Flowers on the Wall
Countin' Flowers: Embracing Life's Simple Joys
Lyrics
I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness
I am aware that you are concerned about my happiness
But all that thought you're givin' me is conscience I guess
The consideration you're offering is more of a moral reminder
If I was walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
If I were in your position, I wouldn't be worried
While you 'n' your friends are worried about me I'm havin' lots of fun
While you and your friends are concerned about me, I am enjoying myself
Countin' flowers on the wall
Engaging in a trivial activity of counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
This activity doesn't bother or concern me
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Playing solitaire alone until the early hours with a deck of fifty-one cards
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Indulging in leisure activities like smoking and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do
Rejecting the notion that I have nothing to do
Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town
Last night, I dressed formally and pretended to be out on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
As long as I can dream, it's challenging to slow down my active lifestyle
So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine
Kindly don't worry about me; I am genuinely doing well
You can always find me here, I'm havin' quite a time
You can always find me here, enjoying myself
Countin' flowers on the wall
Engaging again in the trivial activity of counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Reiterating that this activity doesn't bother or concern me
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Playing solitaire alone until dawn with a deck of fifty-one cards
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Indulging in leisure activities like smoking and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do
Rejecting the notion that I have nothing to do
It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
Expressing a need to leave, despite not looking presentable
Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light
Explaining discomfort due to unfamiliar surroundings and brightness
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
Mentioning discomfort in shoes on hard concrete
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete
Deciding to return to my room to complete my day
Countin' flowers on the wall
Resuming the trivial activity of counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Reiterating that this activity doesn't bother or concern me
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Playing solitaire alone until dawn with a deck of fifty-one cards
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Indulging in leisure activities like smoking and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do
Rejecting the notion that I have nothing to do
Don't tell me I've nothin' to do
Assertively rejecting the idea that I have nothing to do
