There seemed to be a lot of C&W crossovers in late '65 - early '66, and
this one by the Statler Brothers was the biggest of the bunch (#4).  --AWR


			"Flowers On The Wall"
			    (Lew DeWitt)

Verse 1:

	            
	I keep hearin

              
' you're conce

       
rned about my 

happiness
	           
	But all that 

              
thought you've

              
 given me is c


onscience I gu

ess
	            
	If I were wal

              
kin' in your s

        
hoes, I wouldn

't worry none
	           
	While you and

              
 your friends 

              
are worryin' '

              
bout me, I'm h


avin' lots
	    of fun

Chorus:

	          
	Countin' flow

ers on the wal

l, that don't 

bother me at a

ll
	Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
	         
	Smokin' cigar

ettes and watc

hin' "Captain 

Kangaroo"
	             
	Now don't tel

  
l me
	            
	I've nothin' 

    
to do

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:

	          
	Don't tell me
	            
	I've nothin' 

    
to do
