Ahhhhhhhhhhhh I'm imagining the smoke now. I took a puff over the holidays and breathed in some smokey air. I'll stay quite this time (it's been over a year)

Dean6805 says,

The Oak Ridge Boys, right?

So sad to hear about smoking.

I loved Capt Kangaroo and Mr Green Jeans. Love that song too ....

Dean6805, I was hoping someone remembered this song. I hope the lyrics, but cannot remember the title.
DynamicD; The smoking was in the sixties.
It was very sad, the other day a work, a friend/customer were talking about old TV shows and a girl I work alongside of didn't know any of them. So we started naming tv actors... Capt. Kangaroo came up and that's what made me thing about this song.
Sad that the younger "kids" don't KNOW or remember any of these people.

Dean6805 says,

The lyrics go something like: "Watchin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all/ Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51... Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo/ now don't tell me I've nothing to do."

Dean6805 says,

Okay, I googled it like I should have done in the first place. The song is "Don't Tell Me" by the Statler Brothers.

Knoxena says,

It's countin flowers on the wall. But thank you for the title and the singers. You made my year, so far. :)!

Dean6805 says,

Yeah, I don't know why I said "watching." That doesn't even make sense. Glad I could be of assistance.

DynamicDbytheC says,

So glad no smoke now. I forgot a lot of the details of the Caprain Kangaroo song.

ba_miracle says,

I loved Mr green jeans.
Mr. Rogers was another fav and I remember the conjunction junction song...does that count?

BTW I choked on my puff (as I knew I would). I wont be a smoker again.

Knoxena says,

I quit about 8 years ago. I'm happy I did, but there are days I could smoke an entire pack.
