Flowers On The Wall Lyrics

by Lewis DeWitt (The Statler Brothers), 1965

I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness.
But all that thought you're givin' 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.

[Chorus]
Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all,
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one,
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo -
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, I'm havin' quite a time.

[chorus]

Well, it's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright.
Anyway me 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]
