Woke up
It was a
Chelsea morning
And the first thing
That I heard
Was a song outside
My window
And the traffic
Wrote the words
It came ringing up
Like Christmas bells
And rapping up
Like pipes and drums
Oh won't you stay
We'll put on the day
And we'll wear it
Till the night comes
Woke up
It was a
Chelsea morning
And the first thing
That I saw
Was the sun through
Yellow curtains
And a rainbow
On the wall
Blue red green and
Gold to welcome you
Crimson crystal beads
To beckon
Oh won't you stay
We'll put on the day
And there's a sun
Show every second
Now the curtain
Opens on a
Portrait of today
And the streets are
Paved with
Passersby
And pigeons fly
And papers lie
Waiting to
Blow away
Woke up it was
A Chelsea morning
And the first thing
That I knew
There was milk
And toast
And honey
And a bowl of
Oranges too
And the sun
Poured in like
Butterscotch
And stuck to
All my senses
Oh won't you stay
We'll put on the day
And we'll talk
In present tenses
When the curtain
Closes and the
Rainbow runs away
I will bring you
Incense owls
By night
By candlelight
By jewel-light
If only you
Will stay
Pretty baby
Won't you wake up
It's a
Chelsea morning
