^CI keep hearin' you're concerned ab^Amout my happiness But ^D7all that thought you've given me is c^Gonscience I guess If I w^Cere walkin' in your shoes, I ^Amwouldn't worry none While y^D7ou and your friends are worryin' 'bout me, I'm h^Gavin' lots of fun

Chorus:

Countin' f^Amlowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one Smokin' c^Figarettes and watchin' "Captain Kangaroo" Now don't tell ^Gme I^F've nothin' to d^Go

Verse 2: 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 [repeat chorus] Verse 3: 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 [repeat chorus] Coda:

D^Fon't tell ^Gme I^F've nothin' to d^Go
